Singer and Tennessee native Justin Timberlake has donated a new wheelchair-accessible van to a Morristown teenager who has cerebral palsy. According to WVLT, Jake is known in the community for making his neighbors smile with a sign asking them to honk if they’re happy. On Wednesday, a parade of people honked and rolled past the home of 17-year-old Jake Stitts to deliver the new van. Michael Abbott Jr., who appeared on Season 6 of "Fear The Walking Dead", is also from Morristown and he helped to start a $35,000 fundraiser to purchase a van for Jake. However, when Timberlake heard about the fundraiser, he decided to buy the van outright so the extra money raised could go to help the family with medical expenses. Jake’s father Tim Stitts said, "It really is a true meaning to Thanksgiving…and it’s a blessing to our family…it’s very humbling." WVLT reports that Jake also got a Zoom call from Justin Timberlake who told him, "You inspire me Jake. You’ve gotta keep that going! You guys have got to use this van to honk all over town!"
