Please Help Tara Lyle brain tumor surgery and reco

I’m Julie, and I’m asking for your help with the expense of Tara Lyle’s brain surgery. 100% of proceeds will go to Jeff & Tara Lyle to help with their copay and expenses during her recovery.

First, the rain- In 2020 Tara was diagnosed with a brain tumor in her frontal lobe, which was presumed to be benign. Over the next year, her symptoms became more severe and it became obvious that there was something seriously wrong. Following another MRI one year later, it was determined that the tumor was growing, putting more pressure on her frontal lobe. She was told that it was likely to continue to grow, but after surgery, it would take many months to recover, so Tara decided to try to tough it out. Frankly, while she had insurance, the copay for the surgery was going to be very expensive and they just couldn’t afford it. (Over $23,000 at that time) By June of 2022, the tumor had doubled in size in 12 months, causing Tara pain, confusion, speech issues, weight gain, and seemingly endless worry and doctors appointments many miles away. These are things that Tara continues to battle bravely. In February of 2023, after experiencing severe abdominal pains, Tara had to have surgery to remove her ovary and fallopian tube due to severe endometriosis. In April 2023, after increasing symptoms, another MRI was done, showing the tumor was continuing to grow at an alarming rate. The doctor told her that, although the tumor is hopefully benign, the more of her brain that it attaches to, the higher the risk of surgery and the more difficult complete removal of the tumor will be, as well as longer recovery times. He didn’t want to wait any longer to schedule surgery, and has scheduled surgery for July 11th, with her recovery expected to take 6-12 months. As if that wasn’t enough, then it poured- This past month, Tara’s husband Jeff had to have surgery to repair a damaged meniscus and has been experiencing complications with blood clots since. He has stubbornly tried to return to work to earn money, but has of yet been unable. (He has not been released by the Dr. to go back to work, and as we all know, no work, no paycheck) All the while both of them continue to incur more and more medical bills. Although Tara has tried to keep her sense of humor and to remain positive through these very trying and chaotic times, life just isn’t cutting this family any breaks. Would you please help Tara and Jeff by donating to help with their medical bills and living expenses during this very difficult time? Thank you!
