Wu Family - Awesome!
Jacob, this is such an awesome idea that you came up with! You are always so caring and considerate of others that it was no surprise to read that you wanted to do this. I won’t be able to watch you do the flips tomorrow as I will be helping out at a camp for foster kids, but I am sure you will do fantastic! You are always so energetic and never give up.
PRICILLA LUNA - Inspiration
Hey Jacob….what can I say. You are truly an inspiration to everyone around you. Especially me. I have watched you grow into an amazing young man and every day I am inspired by your willingness to help others. You do not hesitate to give and that will get you very far in life. Keep up the good work and NEVER let anyone take that away your joy and that amazing love in your heart. Love you….!!!!
Auntie Jaime - You are amazing,Jacob!! Keep up the good work of helping others. Your example will be contagious and others will want to be like you. Have fun and see tou soon…big hug.
Noel Fuentes 
Hi, Jacob: Jadyn’s mom told me about what a great thing you are doing and wanted to let you know that your concern for others is really touching and reminds adults especially that it’s important to give back to the whole community so that everyone is enriched. Good luck for a successful fundraiser.
Cynthia Woo- very proud
Jacob/Chupie Way to go sweetie! Joshua and I are very proud of you! You are the best and we love you. Auntie Syl
Sylvia Maynez - You Rock!
Jacob, What a wonderful compassionate young man you are! Caring about others is a great gift from God. I met you once at Barnes & Noble while you and your dad were helping give back to one of the non-profit organizations downtown a couple of years ago. “Thank you” for being the kid you are! Your parents must be very proud of you! You ROCK!
Monica Scholl - apple does not fall far….
Jacob, i’m sure you are the apple of your parents’ eye…in a world where kids want to grow up too fast, it’s nice when we see that charity does start at home…kudos to you and the fine young man that you are….the apple truly does not fall far from the tree…especially this ripe and loving one….
henry mercado - An inspiration!
Jacob, you’re an inspiration to all the other dojo members, both young and old! Go, Jacob!
Lia Suzuki - Jacob, I couldn’t be more proud of you. The Lord has blessed you with a heart of compassion and giving. Your grandpa Ernie is smiling down at you from Heaven, we can almost hear him say “that’s my boy.”
Suzie Dominguez - It’s never about you!
Chuppy, your selflessness and thoughtfullness of others is the best example of your character. If everyone were to think the way you do, the things we could accomplish. Continue to forever surprise us with your generosity and gift of self. “Leading from the front!” We love you! Tio James & Tia Loretta.
