Jacob Davis’ Drummer Diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer

Jacob Davis‘ drummer, Caleb Allensworth (29), recently had unexplained, unbearable pain and went to the emergency room.  Doctor’s discovered a large intestinal tumor and completed an emergency surgery for removal. The day before being released from the hospital, Allensworth was informed that he has stage 3 colon cancer.  He is scheduled to under go six months of chemotherapy beginning in May.  He and his wife Tori have health insurance.  However, as we all know, hospital bills begin to pile up very quickly.  Friends and family have created a page where you can donate to Allensworth’s medical bills.  They wrote, “Cancer comes at a great cost not only physically, emotionally and spiritually, but also financially. Despite having health insurance, there are already thousands of dollars in uncovered medical fees, to say nothing of travelling expenses and lost wages, all of which are destined to increase with time. Tori will be periodically missing work to prioritize time for Caleb’s care, and Caleb’s ability to work is now uncertain at best. Most importantly, Caleb and Tori dream of starting a family of their own. Caleb’s chemotherapy treatments will render him unable to start a family naturally. They are already taking steps make starting a family possible, but this comes at a great expense. Realistically, the rippling costs of this burden will be incurred for many years to come. “

If you are able to help in any way, please do so.  You can check out Caleb’s story and donate here.

I was born & raised in Orlando, but chased my dream of living in Tennessee. There are plenty of more dreams to chase, and living here was the first step. I grew up on country music and remember riding around in my dad’s truck singing along to Reba, The Judds, and of course, King George. Pure Country was a movie that played often in our house. These days, I absolutely love following “up and coming” artists. Cale Dodds is my favorite; and I’m at his shows more often than not! I love everything about country music; the way artists appreciate their fan base, the loyalty the fans show their favorite performers, and how it brings people together. I am so thankful for the experiences and friendships that Got Country has given me.
