Join us as we come together to raise awareness&mdash;and much‑needed support&mdash;for Jacob&rsquo;s Stone. Now entering its second year, Jacob&rsquo;s Stone continues its mission to shine light on a time of profound devastation and mourning for families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a child. In these moments of grief, many families also face the unexpected financial burden of honoring their beloved child with a Memorial Marker. Jacob&rsquo;s Stone is dedicated to easing that strain, offering compassion, dignity, and support when it&rsquo;s needed most. Your participation helps ensure that no family walks this path alone. Our goal is $625.02. That is our cost for a beautifully engraved and installed Memorial Marker.
