Fighting Through the Hardest Battle of My Life

I’ve faced haunted houses, abandoned homes, and shadows most people never see. But this time… the battle isn’t in a house. It’s inside me.

Over the past several weeks, everything changed. After eight intense weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, I am now in the next phase of aggressive cancer treatment — ongoing IV hydration, therapy, labs, and constant monitoring as my body works to recover. Appointments still fill most days, and complications have required repeated hospital stays. This is not a short chapter. It’s an ongoing fight.

It’s exhausting. 

_____

The Fight I’m Facing

Multiple hospitalizations from treatment-related infections have already set me back — each one physically draining and financially devastating. With my immune system weakened by treatment, even minor complications can become serious very quickly.

But there is hope.

My doctors believe this cancer is highly treatable and curable. A recent PET scan showed it has not spread. That light at the end of this long corridor is real — but the road there is still demanding, and I am taking it one day at a time.

_____

The Financial Impact

Cancer doesn’t just attack the body — it disrupts everything around it.

In the earliest weeks of this fight, I was between insurance coverages. During that time, biopsies, surgery, scans, blood panels, specialist visits, and critical testing had to move forward immediately — regardless of coverage. There was no option to wait for insurance to catch up. The cancer didn’t pause, and neither could the procedures needed to diagnose and begin treatment. Those early months alone created thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket medical expenses before my current insurance was fully in place.

Now, even with coverage active, the costs continue to add up quickly.

I need help keeping my home stable and ensuring my boys are cared for while I focus on recovery.

_____

I am setting a goal of $55,000, which will help cover:

Medical costs & treatment:

• High monthly insurance premiums

• Large deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums

• Ongoing treatment-related care, hydration, labs, and monitoring

• Hospital bills from multiple treatment-related infections

• Medications, medical supplies, and recovery-related expenses

Support & household:

• Occasional in-home help on the hardest recovery days

• Lost income from being unable to work consistently

• Everyday living expenses that don’t pause during treatmentT

This isn’t about one single bill. It’s about keeping our home steady, covering the gaps cancer treatment has created, and allowing me to focus fully on healing.

_____

Why I’m Asking for Help

For years, whether you know me from Haunted Saginaw, my films, or my music, I’ve worked to share stories and connect with fans and the community. Now, I need your support in my own fight.

I am not stopping. I still plan to release a new film this fall, and I am working on another album. Creating has always been how I move through darkness — and I refuse to let this chapter take that from me.

_____

How You Can Help

If you are able to contribute, any amount truly helps. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this page means more than you know. Every message, every prayer, and every act of support strengthens this fight.

I am walking through a corridor of cancer treatment, fighting to stay strong for my boys. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement helps me keep moving forward.

Every contribution matters. Thank you for being part of this fight.

— Steve

Undawnted Press Release: Saving the Conjuring House for Future Generations

Undawnted and the Paranormal 

As a paranormal explorer, investigator, and researcher for over two decades, I support the saving of the Conjuring House. 

Over the years, I visited various locations and have great stories to tell about them, including: The Whaley House, Star of India, and the now converted to an office building, the Santa Rita Hotel. I was immersed, so much so, that I became a horror journalist for the local speculative fiction society and wrote about my adventures to haunted locations. 

The byline, as well as other columns (e.g., books, reviews, featured article, etc.), earned me three consecutive Media Press Badges at Comic-Con San Diego before my body collapsed due to my disabling health conditions. That's plural. I fight for my life every day, but I continue to support others' efforts to bring about positive outcomes in the world.  

As I learned about myself, I am a sensitive to energies. A light in the dark. Understandably, the paranormal has been a constant companion throughout my life. At first, I did not understand the occurrences that I experienced from childhood, youth, and into adulthood until I confronted them. Now, I am at peace with the unknown. 

However, as a history major, I would love for this home to be saved. It predates the establishment of the United States. The home and property are a treasure. History, if possible, should be salvaged, not destroyed. 

If you can manage a few dollars, then please donate to this incredible cause: The Conjuring House -Together We Make History.

Thank you!

The Conjuring House -Together We Make History 

 

Hello, I'm Jason Hawes.

Many of you may know me from Ghost Hunters.

I've dedicated my life to exploring the unknown and trying to make this field accessible for everyone.

I have never wanted to buy the Conjuring House. I’ve publicly stated this many times over the years, and I meant it. 

 

But, I have been contacted by past owners, employees, residents, all begging me to step in and try to save this property from being exploited and priced out of the range of the majority of people.

If you are unaware, The Conjuring House is going up for auction on October 31'st. 

 

If we don’t step in, there’s a very real chance it will be bought by some whose only goal is to turn it into a money making machine.

This isn’t just another piece of real estate. This house is an important part of paranormal history. 

 

It's a place that has drawn all types of investigators. Believers, Non believers, skeptics, debunkers and those that are simply curious from all over the world.

For decades, it has connected people. It has sparked curiosity, debate, and exploration. It’s a place that has helped keep history alive, and it deserves to be preserved, not exploited.

I’ve decided to act because so many have asked for my help.

I believe that as a community, we can make a difference. 

 

I’ve created this GoFundMe to raise funds needed to save the Conjuring House at auction. 

 

I’ll personally add as much as possible to give us the best possible chance to succeed.

If we’re successful, the Conjuring House will be placed into an LLC and those from this properties history will help run it and keep it open. 

 

Those who know and respect the true history of the property. They will oversee its day-to-day operations, keeping it open for tours, investigations, and anyone who wants to experience it.

I want to be clear:

I’m not looking to profit from this gofundme, and I have no plans to run the daily operations. This will cost me money!

I’m stepping in now for only one reason, because people I care deeply for asked me to. 

 

Lets try to preserve this house and protect its legacy for the paranormal community and for future generations, and to keep it from being priced out of the majority of peoples ability.

This truly feels like the last chance to save the Conjuring House. If we don’t act now, we may lose it forever to some that want it to be a money making machine, who won’t honor its history or its significance.

I can’t do this alone. To succeed, I'm asking everyone who cares about this property, and about what it represents, to step up and help. 

 

This could be historic! 

 

Together, we can protect this piece of history and keep it accessible for all who want to walk through its doors.

Please consider donating today. Every contribution brings us one step closer to making sure the Conjuring House remains what it was always meant to be — a place to learn from, experience, and share for generations to come.

How the Funds Will Be Used

Every dollar raised in this campaign will go directly toward purchasing the Conjuring House at auction.

If we are successful at the auction, the property will be placed into an LLC and be run by those from its history that are dedicated to preserving it.

I want to be absolutely clear: I am not seeking to profit from this Gofundme.

My role here is clear. I have been asked to help save this property by Andrea Perron, and many others around the globe. 

 

All I can do try!

This is a big undertaking, and I am willing to reconsider my position and help do what I can. This will take a historic movement! 

 

Together, We can make sure it remains open for tours, investigations, and visitors for generations to come.

If we do not win the auction, Refunds will be granted "unless a donor chooses to have their contribution directed toward other historic preservation efforts".

If we succeed and raise more than what is needed to purchase the property, any surplus will be used for restoration, repairs, maintenance, and updates that keep the history and significance of the house alive.

No raffles, No sweepstakes, No giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.
