Angie started with the City of Chattanooga on May 3, 2001, as a police dispatcher. After the Hamilton County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications District came to fruition, she continued with the city. She had carotid artery surgery on her main vein in her neck recently. The original plan was to be out of work for a couple of weeks, but she recently found out she will be out until her post-op appointment on August 6th. When she went in for a follow-up appointment after surgery, they discovered that she had an infection at her surgery site. The infection has caused facial swelling. While Angie had some money put aside, she does not have enough to last until after post-op, plus any unforeseen delay on being released to return to work. It has been a very stressful time for Angie and her daughter and any contribution that you can make would be greatly appreciated.
