Tamara Elstner is a respected colleague, a devoted mother, and a woman of remarkable strength. As peers at American Family Insurance, we have witnessed her unwavering dedication to her work and her family. For the past two years, Tamara has been quietly battling cancer, enduring more than anyone should have to carry. She underwent surgery at Johns Hopkins that was not covered by insurance, which ultimately depleted her savings. Despite these challenges, Tamara continues to fight with courage and hope.
Recently, Tamara has applied for a promising clinical trial at the University of Chicago, offering renewed hope for her and her loved ones. We are all praying she is approved. Beyond her own fight, Tamara is a devoted mother to two children: her son, Petar (20), who is currently attending Arizona State University, and her daughter, Miljana (11), who still needs her mom in every possible way. This fundraiser is being organized with Tamara’s full knowledge and blessing, and our goal is simple: to surround her with tangible support so she can focus on her health, her children, and the road ahead—without the constant weight of financial stress.
Funds raised will help support medical and treatment-related expenses, travel for care (including UChicago appointments), household and living expenses, and general support for Tamara and her children during this difficult season. If you are able to give, thank you. If you’re not, sharing this page and keeping Tamara and her family in your thoughts means just as much. Let’s remind Tamara that she does not walk this road alone.
