Help Laety Heal – Our Community’s Turn to Give Back

Just last week, our amazing manager and friend, Laety Heissat, underwent emergency gallbladder surgery. While she’s recovering physically, she’s now facing something none of us could be prepared for — over $80,000 in medical bills. Our goal is to raise $60,000 to cover the majority of these overwhelming costs.

If you know Laety, you know her heart. She’s a single mother of two, a hard worker who has dedicated over nine years of her life to Calhoun’s, and a pillar of support for so many in our community. She’s the kind of person who welcomes everyone with open arms, never judges, and believes in giving people second chances. She’s always the first to help someone in need, no matter how big or small the situation. I can speak from personal experience — even when I’ve been stubborn or made mistakes, she’s stood by me without hesitation.

Laety has spent years supporting our community, our staff, and every single person who’s walked through Calhoun’s doors. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her.

The reality is, no one should have to face this kind of financial burden alone — especially while recovering from surgery and raising two children on her own. Every single donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Laety pay these medical bills and give her the peace of mind she deserves while she heals.

Here’s how you can help right now:

1. Donate – Anything you can give will make a difference.

2. Share – Spread this fundraiser far and wide — post it on social media, text it to friends, tell your coworkers. The more people who see this, the more help Laety will receive.

Let’s show Laety the same love and generosity she’s shown all of us. Together, we can lift this incredible woman out of financial hardship and give her the comfort of knowing her community has her back.
