Because Games Matter - Jacob's Story - Extra Credits

Thank you to Jacob for sharing their story and if you're interested in more information about Child's Play, you can find them at http://childsplaycharity.org/ or https://twitter.com/CPCharity on Twitter. With the help of folks like you, they can continue to improve the lives of children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters through the power of play and the generosity of the gaming community. So if you're able, please donate towards this amazing cause and help make some difficult days for children a little brighter.

Our final story also comes from C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital ( https://victors.us/streamformott ) Jacob was born with primary ciliary dyskinesia which means spending an hour every day receiving treatment to help prevent lung infections. During those treatments, Jacob was able to help pass the time by playing games. But when a tumor was found in Jacob's kidney, he had to stay at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The week leading up to surgery was long, boring, and isolating. But the Child Life Specialists at the hospital changed all of that by visiting with toys and games. Games that gave Jacob something to look forward to and helped give Jacob hope.
