As some of you know, my daughter, Calah Cummins, underwent surgery in December and January for Endometriosis. The recovery process exhausted her FMLA and PTO.

Now she is facing additional surgeries for her neck, spine, and possibly pelvic region. She is unable to work entirely now at this point as there is an artery pressing on her brain stem causing coordination issues and dizziness in addition to the pain.

We are asking for financial assistance for the medical bills and regular finances as Kyle is the only one able to work until surgeries can be scheduled, and a full recovery. Surgery won’t be scheduled until after the imaging is reviewed on 9/9.

If you’re unable to give, please share and pray.

If you know my daughter, you know she’s a fighter and would be working through this, but she’s been deemed medically disabled until further notice.

We're again extending our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support during this challenging time.

Last year, I received a diagnosis of endometriosis, an unusually severe case that required extensive robotic surgery and a prolonged recovery period. Unfortunately, this depleted my PTO and FMLA with my job. 

Currently, I am facing a new medical issue relating to my spine, budlging discs, some pressing nerves against bone and an artery pressing against my brain stem. I'm experiencing persistent pain and dizziness, making everyday tasks, like driving, bending over, simple chores, and even extended screen time impossible. As someone who values an active lifestyle, this new reality is particularly frustrating as I was down for recovery for so long because of the endometriosis. Your prayers, positive thoughts, and kind words bring us comfort and strength.

With Kyle as the sole person able to work at this time, your financial support would be a significant blessing. Please share and consider donating to help us navigate this tough period. The last few and upcoming weeks are and have been filled with medical appointments, including imagining, consultations with specialists like neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and chiropractors. On September 9, I'll meet again with orthopedic surgeon to discuss surgery or potential surgeries.

Before that, I'll see a neurologist on September 3 to review my imaging results to understand the other symptoms I am experiencing, such as burning dowmy arms and legs, on the side of my face, the back of my skull and other various places.

Thank you again for your unwavering support. Please share and consider helping us through this difficult time. We have a long way to go.

As of 3/31/26

I lost my job back in October.

I’ve had ablations. I’m still in pain.

I’ve surpassed the insurance hurdles and now it’s finally time for surgery. I haven’t been able to work all this time and could really use your help.
