Support Tamara’s Family
“Our family has faced many challenges, but we believe in resilience and the power of support. My stepdaughter Tamara and her boyfriend, Tanner, are doing all they can to create a stable, loving environment for their five young children—Harper Grace, Maverick, Gracie, and twins Blakey and Maddox who have been a recent blessing. Their journey has been filled with ups and downs, but they’ve shown remarkable strength through it all.
Tamara first came into my life after my husband, her father, passed away unexpectedly. Despite years of separation, we quickly grew close, and since then, I’ve seen her endure and overcome some of life’s toughest hurdles. After her marriage ended due to her husband’s struggles with employment and mental health, Tamara continued to work full-time, go to school full-time, and care for her young children. Tanner, an old high school friend, entered her life and has been an incredible source of support. Together, they’re building a loving home, but their journey has not been without hardship.
This young family has faced unexpected health and financial struggles. Maverick, one of their young children, has had recurring health issues, and Tanner recently developed bronchitis that led to an esophageal tear, requiring him to take time off from his new job at a limestone mine. This time away from work has put even more pressure on their already strained finances.
Despite the many curveballs life has thrown at them, Tamara and Tanner remain hopeful and committed to building a future for their children. Our family has helped as much as we can, but we’re reaching out now to ask for support—whether that be a donation or a prayer for strength and healing.
Every bit of support helps lighten their load and allows them to focus on their children’s well-being. Your generosity means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can provide.”

UPDATE 1/18. Blakely came home yesterday! She’s breathing on her own and teething. Now the prayers shift to financial need and protection from the huge snowfall happening now. They are saying up to 18 inches!! Thank you 😊 all for praying!🙏🏻
This is my granddaughter Blakely. She had influenza A&B and is really struggling. Also, my daughter and the other kiddos have been struck by the flu A. Tamara (my daughter) is really sick too and caring for a baby in the hospital, herself and now Tanner has a blood clot in his leg. Please please urgently pray for little Blakely and the whole family.
UPDATE 2/13. They put her on oxygen again she kept dropping to 88 😣 they were able to remove her feeding tube and she’s drinking well from a bottle so that’s very good. So Blakely will not get home today. She needs to be breathing room air for 24 hours. Please keep praying. This family has no income currently due to all the illnesses that plague them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
UPDATE 2/12 Blakely still struggled a bit with breathing. She was down to just a level 1 on oxygen yesterday. Today the plan is to take her off O2 and if she can breathe room air successfully (90%) for 24 hours she’ll go home tomorrow. So, now we are praying that her little lungs can do it on their own.
Meanwhile at home Blakely’s twin (Maddox) and her big brother Maverick spiked fevers yesterday. This family needs immunity. Please pray a hedge of supernatural immune power to surround each member of this family. We need them well and to stay well. Thank you for continuing to pray 🙏🏻
UPDATE 2/10 Blakely has stuggled with keeping her oxygen levels up so she’s on O2 a bit longer. She needs to be breathing independently just room air to be released from the hospital. Tamara has been at the hospital 24/7 until she got a stomach bug!! Good grief!!! Hopefully, Blakely will be home any day now!
Update 2/8/25 Blakely was extubated and now on a bipap. She is still sedated otherwise she pulls the mask off. They hope to have her awake and on Oxygen by the end of the day. The doctor feels confident that she will be just fine.
Tamara still feels crappy and tired, but she is definitely feeling the prayers and God’s love is giving her some much needed peace. THANK YOU!!
Tanner is feeling horrible with the flu, but they have some treatment going on the blood clot in his leg. Blood thinners, a compression device and a follow up on Monday to see a Hematologist.
Having my sweet family 9 hours away in Missouri is hard, but your prayers and well wishes mean the world to us!!
Update2/6/25 - Blakely did not get rid of the bipap yesterday and did spike a fever. We are hoping she gets rid of the bipap today and is just on oxygen, and no more fevers!!
Tamara got a respite to go home and shower as a family member relieved her from Blakelys bedside She’s getting whatever sleep she can. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
