<div><strong>** Tamii's campaign shows that she has raised $8,625.00; this money was used to pay for her surgery in 2021. To date, Tamii has raised: $300.00.**</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 8, 2021, Tamii successfully had the life-saving TMJ surgery<strong> </strong>she urgently needed, for her to function, live her life and thrive again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Tamii's surgery was performed by TMJ specialist, Dr. Mark A. Piper, in St. Petersburg, FL. Dr. Piper performed a: Bilateral Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Microscopic Arthroplasty w/Diskectomy and Placement of Autologous Fat Grafts. There is a 9 to 15-month recovery process. The surgery was successful. <strong>However, with the surgery, came side effects</strong>. Tamii has Severe “Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome” (CRPS) which affects your "Nervous System," and prevents her from working; if left untreated, CRPS causes muscle spasms and tightening, tremors, decreased ability to move, and joint stiffness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, there's the insurance game: If the Dr. is out-of-network, insurance won't pay!! Also, Medical coverage says the procedure is ‘Dental’ and Dental coverage, says the procedure is ‘Medical.’ Even worse, Tamii's second insurance carrier dropped her!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thus, Tamii's family was left to raise approx. $100,000 for the surgery in 2021, while her condition continued to deteriorate. Tamii chose to fight for herself and raised almost half the money she needed. A very special person, who always makes helping others a priority, did not want Tamii to suffer any longer, graciously covered the remainder of the money she needed to have the surgery!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Tamii is DEPLETED, FINANCIALLY!!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Tamii still requires necessary treatments to make a full recovery (Tamii has to pay "out-of-pocket" for the continued treatments below):</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Pain Management Specialist for the Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) treatments, as a result of the TMJ surgery (2-1/2 hr. drive).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. Post-op Treatments and visits, travel back to St. Petersburg, FL (until all treatments are completed); <strong> Tamii was due back in Florida in August of 2022, but financially was unable to go.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3. ENT Specialist to remove the Thornwaldt Cyst from the adenoids that was found during an examination, which prevents her from breathing comfortably (2-1/2 hr. drive).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4. Endocrinologist for Thyroid Treatments for two Nodules found during an ultrasound at the UNM C_ _ _ _r Center (5 hr. drive).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tamii has unpaid Anesthesia, Lab/Pathology reports, EKG, X-rays, and MRI’s from her surgery in 2021.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read and share Tamii's story, it is sincerely appreciated. Blessings, Good Health, and Peace be unto you and your families.
</div>

<div>Namaste'
