Support Tami Follmer Woytek in Her Battle Against Cancer

Dear friends, family, and community,

We are reaching out to ask for your support and kindness during a challenging time for my mom, Tami Follmer Woytek. As many of you know, Tami is a dedicated teacher at Collins Hill High School and the Varsity Volleyball Coach—a role she holds with immense passion and commitment. But now, Tami, my mom, is facing an uphill battle against stage 3 breast cancer, and she needs our help. She has a very aggressive form of breast cancer and will need multiple rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.

This year has been incredibly tough for Tami. In December, she underwent neck surgery. Shortly after, in January, she battled a severe case of Covid. As if that wasn't enough, she experienced a detached retina and Covid again. In March, she faced emergency hand surgery due to unforeseen circumstance/accident. Each of these events has taken a toll on her physically, emotionally, and financially.

Due to these unforeseen health challenges, Tami has exhausted all of her PTO and is now struggling to keep up with past medical bills, all while facing the future ones that are inevitably on the horizon. She has missed so much work and is now in a position where she needs our support more than ever.

As she begins her treatment, Tami needs to focus entirely on healing and not on the financial strain that taking more time off work will bring. That’s why we’re asking for your help. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward covering her medical expenses, both past and future, so she can concentrate on her recovery without the added stress of financial worries.

If you have any questions or would like more information on how you can help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Makaela Woytek, her daughter. We’re also planning to set up a meal train in the near future to provide additional support as her chemo treatments progress.

Tami has dedicated so much of her life to nurturing and guiding others, whether in the classroom or on the volleyball court. Now, she needs our help. Please consider donating and sharing this page with others who might be willing to support her during this difficult time.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and prayers.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Makaela Woytek
