Help get Tammy to Mayo Clinic ASAP

Hi, my name is Toni. My family and I are trying to raise money to get my little sister, Tammy Barnett, to the Mayo Clinic in Florida to see a rheumatologist for a second opinion. Her current doctor is telling her she will have to lose her leg from the knee down. At 48 years old, the very thought is overwhelming!! Mental, physically, emotionally and financially this is a huge ordeal and she needs a second opinion. Unfortunately the clinic is not in her network and requires a $5000 deposit to even make her an appointment. Her medical conditions have taken a huge toll on her over the past year and made for a lot of lost time at work causing them to lose a large chunk of income. Savings are long gone at this point and we are appealing to the community, friends, and family to help her. She has always been the rock and back bone to our family and has worked in her hometown pharmacy for so long that most people in Waldron, AR consider her family. Asking for help is not something that comes easy for her but know in advance that we could never express how grateful we are for every cent collected. We know that this comes at a difficult trying time for all of us and we are so very grateful for the outpouring of love and concern.
