About
Jaco Fourie is a 22 year old young man, Jaco was a student teacher at David Brink
Primary School at the time of his accident in 2018. Jaco was passionate about life
and has a great love for his fellow man. Jaco walks his way in faith with his Creator.
Jaco was also a great rugby player.
Jaco performed very well in rugby and athletics at Rustenburg Primary School. He
was in Rustenburg High School where he played for the 1st rugby team from Grade
11 to Grade 12.
Jaco also played Stellaland rugby during his High School career. Jaco was also
invited to the National Bokkie team. After school, he plays for Impala Rugby Club's
first team of which he also plays Gold Cup at the young age of 19, the youngest
player on the team. The Lions as well as the Leopards approached him in 2017. He
played for the Pukke's Young Guns U / 20 Team Varsity Cup at the beginning of
2018.
Jaco coached his rugby team at David Brink Primary School with love, care and
dedication. He also coached the 0/15 7's team at Rustenburg High School in 2017
where he taught the boys of faith along with his coaching which he maintained well.
The Rugby boys have so much faith and hope for Jaco's complete recovery and pray
daily in a group after each exercise. The boys at David Brink Primary School still
constantly ask about Mr Jaco's well-being and when he will be back at school.
Jaco were in a car accident on the evening of March 24, 2018
and sustained the following injuries during the accident:
Lung injury, brain injury, right hip fracture and a C2 neck fracture. Jaco was
connected to a ventilator after which he had to get a trachea to accommodate the
ventilator. He had a hip operation 2 weeks after the accident to mobilize the hip and
should get a hip replacement in the near future. He was operated on July 9, 2018 for
his C2 neck fracture. Jaco was treated at Tswane Rehabilitation Center (a
government institution) until 20 February 2019.
Jaco's heartfelt desire was to come home and be with his parents, friends and
community from Rustenburg. Currently his parents need some help with home care
funds. Jaco also needs the help of a physiotherapist, speech therapist, occupational
therapist and psychologist.
Jaco's progress has been much better since he has been home and with the help of
his father and a home care provider.
We are also hosting fundraisers to raise funds to help us (his parents) with the
necessary expenses for a home care provider and also the necessary therapy that
he will receive daily for his recovery.
We ask your help. Whatever God puts on your heart and out of love for your fellow
man, to open hands and hearts to realize Jaco's desire and need.
