Tammie Needs Help With Medical Do-Over

I am Tammie LaForce.  I have had so many things happen to me in the last two years that it has come to a head at this point in time.  I was going to come to this site to ask for money to file a bankruptcy but a medical situation has come up that needs to be addressed now.  I will worry about other financial things later.

I had knee reconstruction April of 2018.  Last month I ruptured the ACL and found that I need to have it replaced again and ALSO need to have a partial knee replacement.  The two doctors I am seeing want to do the surgeries at two different times because the ACL needs time to adhere. So the Orthopedic Surgeon will operate for the ACL surgery while the Joint Specialist Surgeon will do the Partial Knee Replacement at approximately three months later.  Total recuperation time will be 9-10 months.  I am worried about living expenses while I am healing and home care as well.  At this time I am waiting  for the first surgery to be scheduled.

I have been on Short Term Disability, which means receiving only half of my paycheck, through my place of employment for the last two months and haven't been able to keep up on my bills. I have exhausted my savings because of family matters at home, people taking advantage and me letting it happen, that was my fault.  I have also been behind on medial bills from previous surgery as well as medicine from other medical issues that I have.

So I am in need of catching up on my electric bill, it will be shut off this week some time because I couldn't come up with the money, I am behind on the rent, I haven't been able to pay for some of my medicine from previous medical issues and my car is behind on payments.  I have not been this bad off that I have to ask for this kind of money.  The bulk of the rest of money will go towards paying for the beginnings of the new operation. 

I would appreciate the words of prayer and encouragement in this time of my life as well.  I am sitting here in the library with people looking at me with concerned expressions.  I do not have internet and haven't for a while so I spend my time here with research and books.  As a lot of people know I still spend my spare time reading.   My mental status is a little weak right now and need the help and LIFTING OF SPIRITS of all my family, friends, friends of friends and strangers.

I know people will look at this and say that "You should be able to do this on my own" and "Why should I help you" and other things that could be said. I know I am only a stranger to most of you but I would really APPRECIATE AND LOVE the help.

I really enjoy to help when I can.  It makes my heart full to see when other people appreciate what you do or see a smiling face.  I donate when I can whether it is monetary or physical items. I put my change in the jars and bins and anything that comes along.  So I guess this is my time to ask for the help that is needed.   

I could go on about more in my life, I guess go into more detail but I don't want to bore anyone more than I already have.  I haven't had to write anything for myself or a cause for quite some time and I am a little rusty.  So there it is.  My pitch for my operation and my time of need.  I appreciate the time that you have had to read this all the way through and would REALLY appreciate the help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
