Hi everyone,

Hi, my name is Tammy. For those who don’t know me, I’m an animal lover at heart, and caring for my animals has always been a big part of who I am. Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but I’m sharing this because I’ve reached a point where I really need to ask for help.

Over the past month, I haven’t been able to work after experiencing a heart attack caused by SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection). It completely changed my life overnight. I’m now in recovery and have just started a very slow return to work, with limits to make sure I don’t put my heart at risk.

The reality is that I’m not able to work the hours or intensity I used to, and the money just isn’t there. I’m not making enough to cover basic living expenses while I heal.

I also don’t have much family support to lean on during this time, so I’ve been navigating recovery and finances mostly on my own. I’m incredibly grateful for the friends and community who’ve shown me kindness, but the financial stress has become overwhelming.

Since I’m on my own I’m starting this GoFundMe to help with mortgage , bills, groceries, cardiac rehab, and the income I lost while I couldn’t work, and continue to lose as I recover. Any support will help take some of the pressure off and allow me to focus on healing instead of constantly worrying about money.

Thank you so much for reading, sharing, or supporting in any way. It truly means more than I can say.

With love and gratitude,

Tammy
