Humor, Hope, and Healing for Tami

Donation protected
On April 11, 2025, Tami suffered a grand mal seizure while at work and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. After undergoing a series of tests, she received a devastating, life-altering diagnosis. In the early hours of April 12, a neurosurgeon informed Tami that her MRI revealed a low-grade glioma located in the lower left quadrant of her brain.

After a series of heart-wrenching doctors appointments it was determined that the best recourse would be to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible. On May 21, Tami is scheduled to undergo brain surgery. While we remain hopeful for a full recovery without lasting effects, the outcome is still uncertain at this stage.

We've created this GoFundMe page to keep friends and family updated and to offer a meaningful way to support Tami during this time. Instead of sending flowers or meals, we invite you to consider making a contribution here—your support will go directly toward helping Tami navigate the road ahead.

Even in the face of this hardship, Tami’s spirit remains unshaken. She is one of the most compassionate, generous, positive people I know. She has been there for so many of us throughout the years.

Now, it’s our turn to be there for her.

This sudden medical crisis has brought not only physical and emotional strain, but also significant financial challenges. We anticipate that your support will help cover:

Medical expenses not covered by insurance

Rehabilitation and physical therapy

Essential medical transportation

Day-to-day assistance during her recovery
