I recently found out that a dear member of my "adopted family" has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer yet again. My purpose with this page is to ease her and her husband's financial burdens throughout Tammy's second battle with this awful disease.
First, please allow me to elaborate on why I use quotes for "adopted family" and to tell you a bit about why Tammy and Johnny mean so much to me. Just over 10 years ago, I found myself estranged from my own family; during this impressionable point in my life, Tammy and Johnny as well as all of David Green's family welcomed me with smiles, open arms, open homes, and most importantly open hearts--Tammy was certainly no exception. Tammy has always had her witty humor and huge smile at every family event I've participated in and all that know her know that she is love and joy. My mother was taken by Breast Cancer in October of 2016. Since her passing, I have hoped (many would even say prayed) for a purpose... for someone I can help again. For the last four months I have searched for and found my happy in something other than being a caregiver--now it's time for me and US to help Tammy by sharing our love and happiness with her throguhout this journey. My mothers dying wish was to see her family reunited which she was finally able to see prior to passing. I know she is smiling to know Tammy and Johnny have been placed on my heart at this point. She was ever grateful for the family that embraced her son 10 years ago...
Tammy is an amazing 41 year old mother of four and wife of 13 years to Jonny Henry. Together they have four kids, all of whom are grown. Her family, "adopted family," and friends mean the world to her! Cancer first reared its head in 2014; she endured an eight month battle and double mastectomy then finally beat it for the first time. However, after two years of remission, the cancer has returned as Stage Four Breast Cancer that has metastacized to nearly all her bones. Following a stressful battle with Medicare/Medicaide for treatment aproval, Tammy will begin her treatment as soon as possible.
