This gofundme for Kristi Howard. If you know her, you know she doesn't like to ask for help. She is the one always taking care of everybody else. However, if you remember October 2023 she found out she had a tumor in her brain. Finally after a little over 2 years November 7th 2025 she was able to have surgery to remove it. That tumor came back benign and everything was going good, then she started having bad anxiety attacks, was kind of incoherent amd just not feeling well, so she went to went to ER by an ambulance, they did a CT and they found another tumor. Her neurosurgeon called her after reviewing the results and told her she had to get in immediately he even rearranged his schedule to get her in to have another tumor removed from her brain. So, on January 8th 2026 2 months to the date she was back at vanderbilt and had brain surgery once again. Pathology came back malignant. She has to go to Nashville several times a week for chemo and radiation. For at least 3 to 4 weeks(its 3 hours no traffic from sevierville to nashville) then they may find her a place closer to home for her treatments. She can't return to work during this and it could months before she can do so.
