WELAKA, FL -- A few miles south of the family campsite in Satsuma, Haleigh Cumming's mother attended a church service where people prayed for the the girl's safe return.
A few dozen people gathered in the small church, encouraging the family not to give up hope young Haleigh will be found alive.
[Haleigh's mom, Crystal Sheffield, told First Coast News' Erich Spivey she will stay in Satsuma for months, if that's how long it takes to find Haleigh.
Ronald Cummings made another plea for Haleigh's safe return Tuesday, but didn't take any questions from reporters.

Child Support is an Issue between Haleigh's Parents

Court documents show Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, is behind in child support by about $4,100.
A motion was filed by the state's Department of Revenue on Ronald Cummings' behalf against Sheffield for contempt. It was dated February 3rd, a week before Haleigh disappeared. A hearing was set for Sheffield for March 27.
Ronald Cummings, Haleigh's father, told First Coast News he received a copy of the document about the hearing the day before Haleigh vanished. Cummings appeared frustrated about the timing of the document's arrival and his daughter's disappearance.

"With this economy, people cannot find a job. She's looked, even at Burger King and McDonald's and at other restaurants," Griffis explained. "People are just not quitting their jobs...and so she can't find a job. It's not that she doesn't want to pay child support, she just can't find a job to pay child support."
Last week, on February 16th, the state signed a dismissal document which cancelled the child support contempt of court hearing until Haleigh is found. The dismissal document was filed in the Putnam County Clerk of Courts office Tuesday.

Despite 'Sightings,' Tips, Investigators No Closer To Finding Haleigh
Search For Missing 5-Year-Old Continues Into 16th Day
POSTED: Wednesday, February 25, 2009

PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. -- An anonymous pledge of $5,000 on Tuesday boosted the reward for finding 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings to $25,500 as investigators said they are no closer to finding her on the 15th day than they were on the first. The sheriff's office has suspended daily news briefings because there's basically nothing they can report.
"The thrust of the investigation is the return of Haleigh, so we have to be very careful about the information we release," Schauland said Tuesday. "If there is any new information, we will get it out."
The family said they have also suspended daily searches, but they are organizing a search on Saturday and asking for volunteers to help.
The Cummings family continues to hold nightly vigils for Haleigh outside the separate makeshift camp sites in the Satsuma neighborhood where her mother and father have stayed since Feb. 10 when the girl disappeared from her bed.

A Couple From Tampa Helps To Search for Haleigh
Created: 2/25/2009 8:09:16 PM

SATSUMA, FL -- Bill Kyne and his wife, Diane, came all the way from Seminole, near Tampa, to help search for Haleigh Cummings in Satsuma Wednesday.
They met with Ronald Cummings, Haleigh's father, when they arrived in town.

"He just seems to be a genuine dad who cares for his kids and I can't imagine what he's going through," Mr. Kyne said.
He ate lunch with Cummings. Afterwards, Mr Kyne said Cummings explained there were no definite areas that could be searched, and no private property could be searched without the owner's permission. And so the Kynes chose to stay in Putnam County for the night, attend a vigil for Haleigh, and come back on the weekend to help with a possible organized search.
Cummings did not take questions from reporters again Wednesday but made another plea for help.
"Whoever has my daughter, please bring her home. Please bring her home. And if you're watching baby, I love you."
Two blocks away at Haleigh's mother's camp, Crystal Sheffield pleaded for her daughter's safe return as well.
"I just want to say, Haleigh, I miss you and I love you."

Donors warned of bogus Web funds for Haleigh

Fake online solicitations for donations are surfacing as the search for a missing Putnam County girl continues, more than two weeks since she vanished from her home. A donation fund has been set up to assist Haleigh Cummings' father and brother, but Web sites claiming to be collecting money for the 5-year-old and her relatives are false, said Jessica Watts with Watts Funeral Home in San Mateo. Watts' husband helped set up the donation fund at Bank of America. The funeral home also is selling T-shirts and buttons with Haleigh&#8217;s picture with proceeds assisting relatives. "We have not set up and I know the family has not set up any online donations," she said.
People who want to donate to the fund should write a check to the Haleigh Cummings Family Relief Fund and submit it at a Bank of America branch. Money from the account currently is being used to help Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, pay bills such as rent and car payments. He has not been going to work since his daughter was reported missing from the family's Satsuma home on Feb. 10. The Watts Funeral Home, located off of U.S. 17, can be reached at 386-328-1414.
