Donation protected
Hi, I'm Tammy. I'm fundraising for my husband and myself to help cover monthly bills, which will provide much-needed financial relief. Your support will cover his monthly expenses including rent, utilities, groceries.

On July 10th, 2024, I went to the emergency room just hours after leaving a chiropractor's office. The emergency room doctors told me I needed emergency surgery and that my back was broken in 3 places chiropractor took xrays of my back to find the source of my shoulder pain, doctor found no breaks in xrays. said i had a pinched nerve and need around 16 visits to realign my spine it was twisted he needed to straighten it to releave my pain. after he popped my back into place while laying on work table. my lower back and my mid back and my neck ereas were all pushed down into my spine and twisted my neck hard both directions and hearing all cracking and movement in my neck n back was nothing i have ever experienced in my lifetime. i was told to come back in a couple days for another round of back realignment sessions. well i didnt make my next appoinment i was in the emer room with a broken back and the loss of use of my legs i was paralyzed and couldnt control my legs anymore. admitted into hospital and set for emerg surgery for next morning , had a mri done and a cat scan done as well . i was informed that the cat scan found that i have lung cancer and its advanced. my world just came crashing down around me as i lay in my hospital bed waiting for my wife to get to emergency room and wondering how to tell my wife when she gets to the hospital about my cancer, my wife has her own health issues with her heart she just had 3 stents done a few days earlier for 90% blocked arteries. i knew that my back was broke and having surgery was bad enough she was already upset i didnt know what to do , so i waited till after my back surgery to inform her of what the other doctors had told me it was not good news at all. i was in surgery 7 hrs and in recovery rest of night so we didnt talk till next morning as i was still waking up from the surgery . after the surgery i now must not lift or no work i do hvac for a living and live paycheck to paycheck as well as alot people nowadays.
