Jacob is Stronger than Cancer
Jacob, a student visa holder, now bravely battling cancer while his family faces emotional and financial hardship far from home and support.
Auckland
Our dear friend Jacob Mojica is a loving husband and a father of two to a 9 year old daughter and 5 year old son. They moved to New Zealand in February 2026 in the hopes of building a new better life for the family. He is currently on a student visa doing his Masters in Social Practice for 1.5 years.
But life took an unexpected turn when he was hospitalized on the 25th May 2026. Several scans were made and the doctors found out that he has a big mass in his colon and nodes all over his lungs. The doctor suspects cancer. He is currently admitted in North Shore hospital.
Instead of focusing on his studies and dreams, the family will now be facing different treatments, emotional stress, and overwhelming financial pressure far from home and family support. We are coming together to help ease the burden so Jacob can focus on what matters most — healing and recovery.
We are knocking on the door of your generous hearts if we could ask help for the hospital bills and incoming procedures the doctors are planning to make him live.
Every donation, no matter the size, will help with medical costs, daily living expenses, and support during this incredibly challenging journey. Please stand with Jacob and his family, share his story, and help bring hope, strength, and relief when he needs it most.
Thank you so much and God bless everyone.

Jacob peacefully went home to be with the Lord 🤍🕊️ 21 June 2026
While our hearts are heavy with grief, we find comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the loving arms of Jesus and free from pain.
His cremation was held on June 17, 2026, and his funeral service was held on June 20, 2026. Family, friends, colleagues, church family, classmates, and professors from around the world gathered to honor and celebrate his life.
It was a beautiful and heartfelt service filled with love, tears, prayers, and precious memories. The many tributes shared were a testament to the kind, compassionate, and faithful man Jacob was. Though he was called to paradise far sooner than we wished, his life was a blessing to so many, and his legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched.
We will continue to celebrate your life and cherish your memory, especially for your children, so they may always know the incredible man, father, and friend you were.
Until we meet again in God's perfect time, rest peacefully in His eternal embrace. You will always be loved, remembered, and deeply missed.
P.S. The link of his memorial service is below. However, it was cut short as the service was longer than expected. The speech of his brother and wife weren’t captured.
