Help the Callahans!

Hi Everyone - first I would like to thank you for taking the time to check out this fundraiser. My name is Cassie and I am creating this fundraiser to help support my best friend’s family with medical bills, food, and any other expenses they are receiving during this difficult time.

Caytie has been my best friend for over 20 years and is someone I have always looked up to. Caytie has been married to her best friend and love of her life, Chris, for almost 13 years now. They have built a beautiful home and family with their two kids, Colby and Cheyanne, and two fur babies, Bailey & Brandy.

It saddens me to say, Chris and Caytie’s daughter, Cheyanne, has become very sick and has been battling liver failure the last few weeks. Cheyanne is the sweetest, most rambunctious, amazing artist, and social butterfly I have met. She just finished Kindergarten but wasn’t able to attend her graduation and walk with all of her friends because she was admitted to her first hospital just days prior due to the doctor saying her liver enzymes are concerning and she had signs of jaundice.

Since being admitted to the hospital, Cheyanne has been to three different hospitals, gone though countless blood tests, a liver biopsy (no results provided yet), and road in two different ambulances to finally end up at a children’s hospital in where she has access to the specialists she needs. And although she’s in the right place, the Drs. still don’t know the cause of infection, don’t know how to treat it and they have no idea when they get to go home as Cheyanne’s liver function continues to deteriorate.

Caytie has been by Cheyanne’s side the entire time and has not been able to go back to work. Chris has taken a ton of time off to be with them and take care of their son, as he is now on summer break and the hospital is hours away from their home. Thankfully they have received a lot of support from their families and friends!

We don’t know when they will be able to go back to work and the bills are racking up on top of spending money on food while they are in the hospital (24/7) and commuting to and from when Chris needs to work.

This fundraiser is to support Chris, Caytie, Colby, Cheyanne, Bailey, and Brandy through this incredibly thought time! Anything can help!

Also, any funding not needed, will be donated back to The Ronald McDonald House! This foundation has been incredible and was able to set them up with a room to sleep in when the whole family is there to help Cheyanne fight against liver failure!
