Personal messages to Tammy are welcomed. Please email to kim@helptammy.com and your message will be posted here (without your email address, for privacy). While Tammy will be unable to respond to each message, please know that she reads them and appreciates them, beyond measure.



Note from Kim: There have been some messages that I've felt were too personal to post here. For those messages, I have forwarded directly to Tammy.


Tammy, I only learned to crochet back in about 2002 or so. Shortly after learning, I found CP. You put out a post asking if anyone had a spare magazine as it had a pattern of yours published. I sent it off to you, not expecting a thing in return. You insisted on repaying me by sending yarns, another of your publications, etc. It was so very kind of you! We've talked off & on throughout the years & the tribulations of life. I'm sorry to hear you're having such issues. Lyme disease is no fun. My only hope is that my small contribution can help alleviate some concerns for you. May God Bless You & your entire family! You're a wonderful person who deserves only the best! Thank you!--------Mitzy

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have loved and enjoyed your patterns for so long that a simple ‘thank you’ is inadequate. Please take good care of yourself – we look forward to many more years of your extraordinary talents!--------Carol E.

Tammy, I am a fan of Kim's from Ravelry and I check her site out now and again and came across your story which really touched me. I will be thinking of you and your family and praying for a quick recovery. Good luck.--------Gini

Hi, Tammy, I'm praying for you and your family. People always say, "God helps those who help themselves". I want to recognize the effort and work and determination you have put into feeling better. You are the embodiment of working hard to improve your health and situation. You are a fighter and I admire your grace under struggle. I pray you can keep up the good work and that God will reward your efforts with relief.--------Ellen G.

Tammy, my thoughts & prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.--------Jeanne S.

Hi Tammy: Just a note to let you know I love you and am pulling for you. You are one of the strongest, most determined people I know, so if anyone can whip this, it's you. Just hang in there and know that you have lots of support and love from many people. I truly believe that what you give to others you get back, and you've given so much to so many crocheters with you remarkable talent, and I know it will be returned in full measure. Hugs-------- Carol (your favorite editor!)

Dear Tammy, dealing with a chronic illness is one of the toughest things to go through. I may not "know" in the true sense of the word, however I believe that you are a strong woman, as most of us are. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. This too shall pass. I understand in only way possible, dealing with my own chronic illness. Please take care.--------Cora Shaw

We can't honestly say we know how you feel, because no one else walks in your shoes. I can say that as a massage therapist, I saw the terrible results of Lyme Disease in some of my clients. I pray for you and your family that God will step in and heal you & your situation as only he can.--------kdpa

Tammy, you are such a special friend. I keep you and your family in my heart every day. You are a very strong woman and you will beat this! Hang in there!--------Kim
