Tammy has morphed into a better person.

Tammy took to Instagram to reach out to her followers for help for a family member who’s going through a devastating cancer battle.

Tammy’s promoting a GoFundMe organized by Amanda Halterman for their cousin Katie Slaton, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. “Y'all I'm so sorry to be asking a big favor like this but if anyone can help even if it’s a dollar would help my cousin out so much,” Tammy wrote and added that Katie has been a part of 1000-Lb Sisters. She told them that even if they can’t donate, they can always pray. “Anything and everything is greatly appreciated,” Tammy said, as she asked for help for not only their cousin but also for herself and her siblings.
