From Tann: "This is not my jam at all, but I need you. As some of you may know, I have been diagnosed with acute myeloid Leukemia (AML - Cancer). It's serious, as I will be hospitalized for some time, followed by outpatient treatment. The treatment is chemo. There will be hair loss amongst other side effects. I'm asking for your help because this recovery will be a long one, coupled with my leg issues, which kicked all of this off in June.

I also have peripheral arterial disease where the clogged arteries prevent blood flow. Vascular surgeon will handle this. Though I want to work, it will be months before I can start looking again. I know times are hard now and you've got your own families to look out for, so I appreciate any financial love you can share to help keep me afloat as I navigate through this."

Tann, on July 19th - She wanted to lead worship one more time before being checked in for treatment; Doctors tried bringing her in the 17th, & she said “I gotta go to church!” ---> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbHdOIkMizL/?igsh=cW5nd3c5Nm5qNTRu 

*Per GoFundMe’s request: - Your name and relationship to the person(s) you're fundraising for (your beneficiary): I’m a family-friend for over a decade! We sing together and I helped organize funding for the loss of her husband last year. - How the funds will be used; please be as specific as possible: funds will be used for her monthly bills, new medical bills, and daily needs as she receives treatment the next few months! - If your beneficiary wants you to manage the funds for them, share how you'll send the funds to them, or how you'll use the funds on their behalf: I already have funds set up for deposits with her personal bank, and she should already be receiving them; I help her manage the site, but all funds go to Tann Smith. She is loved!
