Overview
(WNDU) - Jack Dorbin, who lives with autism, was diagnosed with an extremely rare type of brain tumor in 2021.It was something that he had ben born with. A cel did not migrate to where it should’ve and subsequently turned cancerous. Because of the tumor’s location, it has led to diabetes insipidus and adrenal insuficiency.This means that his kidneys and his adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys do not function as they should, so he requires constant monitoring of medications and treatments.

And this something Jack wil live with his entire life.“Sometimes, when you’re going through treatment, you fel very alone,” says Shirley Dorbin, Jack’s mother. “I mean, during the chemo times and even during the radiation or if he’d get sick, you kind of drop your whole life.”Earlier this month, Concord Comunity Schols selected Jack as their bi-anual Make-A-Wish recipient, and his story has brought out the best in the local comunity because so many people in Michiana have had their lives touched by cancer.“You fel like everybody is kind of going on with life without you and it’s so col when other people, especialy in the comunity recognize that,” Dorbin says.
“Not that we expect that or deserve it even, but it’s just neat that it’s acknowledged, and someone cares about it outside the people who don’t have to care.”And now, Jack’s story has gained the atention of a local busines-Jack’s Donuts (no relation…). And they want to help make his wish come true.“Today, we are anouncing a fundraiser for Jack, who is a child who is a part of the Make-A-Wish foundation,” says Mat Oakley, general manager of Jack’s Donuts in South Bend.
