Celebrate Tammy's Life with Your Help

Hello.

I am Mari Scott. I am asking for donations for my daughter Tammys memorial. Thank you so very very much for supporting my fundraiser. I am still asking for donations so I can have a memorial birthday party for Tammy. I plan on taking Tammy back to Montana this coming July 10, 2025. On her birthday. There will probably more than just 1 memorial since Tammy was such a sweet and caring little lady. She had friends wherever she lived. Hi. I am Mari Scott and I am raising funds for my beautiful, sweet daughter Tammy deMontigny. She was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago. She went through MAJOR surgeries, eventually having her bladder, colon, uterus, vagina, rectum, ovaries... pretty much everything down there removed. She no longer had any of her privates. Through all of this, she remained cheerful and positive. Tammy referred to herself as having a Barbie Doll butt. One of her surgeries lasted 16 hours, which caused her to have a paralyzed right leg from the knee down. Still, Tammy remained uplifted and was her silly, goofy, loving self. A little over a year ago, her cancer came back. They couldn't do any more surgeries, and chemo was the only available treatment left.

Tammy went through 2 rounds of chemo, and then she wasn't able to do any more for different reasons. I lived in an apartment on the 3rd floor. So her doctors had her stay in a rehabilitation center. While she was there her health actually got worse. She had a wound and they weren't taking care of it correctly. It got worse and made it so she really couldn't walk. Then they wouldn't do the chemo therapy because they said that they couldn't because there were to many people around with too many germs. Her insurance only covered 21 days. When she ran out of insurance they basically kicked her out. She was given a ride home and just dropped her off at the curb. We had to call the fire department and they came to our rescue! Carried her up to the apartment, still on the 3rd floor. By this time Tammy was pretty much bedridden. Doctors canceled chemo until we got moved to a first floor apartment. That's a lot of work to do when there's only me, I'm 100% disabled. But you gotta do what you gotta do. My arm and shoulder muscles have been ripped on the inside because you gotta do what you gotta do! One time, she didn't get to go because she couldn't get down the 3 flights of stairs where we lived. She was SO motivated to make it to her appointment and managed to make it out to the stairs with her walker but only made it down 1 step. It broke her heart. She just sat on the steps crying. SO, we moved to another apartment on the 1st floor. We had one hold-up after another trying to get moved, and in the meantime, it was postponing any further chemo appointments because she couldn't get down those stupid stairs.

Finally, Tammy was able to make it to her appointment. That was on September 27th. Most of the next week, she felt lousy, hurting all over . Wednesday, the 2nd of October, she spiked a fever and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Tammy's fever went down and she was diagnosed with a UTI infection. I stayed with her for an extra 2 hours past visiting hours when they told me I had to go. Thursday, we spent the day visiting. Friday, I had a few errands to do in the morning. I called her, but she was sleeping, so I let her rest. I then left to get my stuff done so I could go back to visit, but my phone needed charging, so I left it home. First thing I did was check my phone and had a message from the doctor at the hospital telling me to call. That's when I got the bad, bad, bad... news that she was gone. I totally broke down. Crying, screaming, screaming, and crying. My baby girl was gone and I didn't even get to talk to her that day.

Tammy was such a sweet, goofy, caring, lovable, awesome person. One of a kind.

SHE WAS MY HERO !!!

I miss her SO SO MUCH!!

I am trying to raise money for her funeral services. I have some money but not quite enough. So if you could find it in your heart ❤️ to help me, I will be eternally grateful.

Hi! I'm still asking for donations so I can travel to Montana this next summer. Her memorial is on July 10th 2025. That's her birthday. Some of the donations were canceled for some reason. If I

don't get enough on here I will have to beg on the corner of some intersection!

Love to all!
