Tammy was born on March 23rd, 1979. Her father was a schitzophrenic and unbeknownst to her, so was she. She suffered from a young age so she turned to self medication with marijuana and ecstasy. Eventually those weren't enough for her so she began using methamphetamine like her father. Tammy became an addict and she did pretty much anything for her next high, including sell her body to willing strangers. She was risking her life in the middle of an AIDS epidemic just so she could get high again and try to erase the voices in her head. She was a diabetic; possibly occuring from all the alcohol abuse.

Tammy spent the majority of her life going in and out of hospitals and jails. She was lost and she needed help. All the guys she loved in her life had turned from her and her father had comitted suicide. Her boyfriends turned as soon as they found out she was pregnant and the one she thought was going to be different fled back to his home country of Honduras shortly after my birth. Tammy loved him and showed obvious affection towards
