My name is Adam Prosperie, and I’m the owner of JAK’D Carts, where Jadon has been a valued team member and friend. Jadon is 36 years old and the father of one young daughter. I’m organizing this fundraiser on his behalf to help support him through an unexpected cancer diagnosis — with multiple complications including extreme pain and dangerously low blood levels — and the financial strain that comes with medical treatment.

Just seven weeks ago, his bloodwork showed negative cancer markers, giving his doctors hope that it wasn’t cancer. But his symptoms continued to worsen, and further imaging revealed the truth — a retroperitoneal mass that was later confirmed to be an embryonal carcinoma. What began as hope quickly turned into a devastating diagnosis for Jadon and his daughter.

Jadon gave full permission for me to create this GoFundMe and share the details of his condition. All funds go directly to him.

In the past month alone, Jadon has lost 12 pounds, dropping to 164 lbs, and his hemoglobin has fallen to 7.4, a dangerously low level that has caused extreme fatigue, weakness, and serious medical concern.

A message from Jadon:

"I'm currently at the hospital. Today we found out that the mass has possibly caused an ulcer and internal bleeding. It will be confirmed tomorrow with an endoscopy. I'm also getting a catheter put into my kidney to relieve the pressure. So I have two procedures scheduled for tomorrow."
