Catherine and Kyle got married May 8, 2025. About 3 months into their marriage, Catherine started experiencing some very concerning health issues. Numbness on sides of her body, blurry vision, nausea, etc. After Dr. visits, blood tests, and an MRI, she was sent to see a Neurosurgeon on 9/15/2025.

We found out she has a rare form of brain tumor growing on her brain stem and up through her brain. It is inoperable and fatal. There is no set amount of time that she has left and Chemo/radiation will only help a little bit, to give her more time. As it grows, it will slowly take away her everyday functions.

Eventually, she will pass away due to one of these losses. She already cannot walk well, hear well, and will continue to decline. Eventually, a vital organ function will be affected and we will lose her.

Since they were just married, Catherine is not yet on Kyle’s insurance. Our local charity hospital won’t give her chemo/radiation without pre-payment. Anything would help in order for us to get her radiation/chemo and to make her comfortable for the time being. We know that it is all in God’s gracious hands. We thank you for your prayers and monetary gifts in this difficult time.
