My name is Tammy Konz, I am Christian, dedicated wife married to Dean for 38 wonderful years, he has been in my corner and my rock throughout my life, loving mother to our two sons and devoted long-term employee. Our oldest Chris Konz and his wife Kirstin with our 3 beautiful granddaughters. Chris employed, with a successful career in law enforcement. Our youngest son Ryan Konz currently single, employed and successful metal fabrication business (Owner). I work full-time for the local school district in the technology department (28 years). Currently a High School Support Specialist for 18 years at a high school. One of my goals, I would love to be able to continue to share many more wonderful years together, to see our sons, families, grandchildren live their lives, to make memories with our grandchildren. I received life changes news 14 years ago; I was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia which is a rare blood disorder that effects the platelet count (Form of Leukemia).  Over the years it then had progressed to Polycythemia Vera which ultimately caused thickening of my blood, putting me at an extreme high risk for blood clots. March of 2023, I was admitted to the hospital with excessive body fluid retention, breathing difficulty, extreme pain to the abdomen. After multiple tests, blood work and MRI scans, I was diagnosed with non-alcohol stage four Cirrhosis of the liver. Which was caused by Budd-Chiari syndrome (which is a rare disorder that occurs when blood flow from the liver is obstructed or restricted).On November 11th 2024, I was accepted to be candidate for a liver transplant which I am currently waiting for a liver transplant. This has not been easy at times for myself and family emotionally and financially. God chooses our life path and I have faith, accepted. God will guide me, with prayers and support from family and friends, it has given me the strength and hope, to live for today and plan for tomorrow. I Tammy has chosen with family and friends to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability, of funds raised are tax deductible for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses.
