1000 Lb Sisters Star Tammy Slaton Asks for Donations—What’s Really Behind It?

INSTAGRAM: TAMMY
1000 Lb Sisters fans raised eyebrows after Tammy Slaton shared a GoFundMe to crowdfund for her cousin Katie’s cancer treatment. They doubt whether the fundraiser is even legitimate or not. Once, they experienced the family doing nasty things when Amy started a campaign out of nowhere. She claimed that Tammy was dying and they needed money.
Later, Tammy came to an episode of the TLC show to say that Amy was joking and trying to make money from her health. She said she was not dead and had lost weight. Tammy is the first of her siblings to lose weight successfully. Although Chris has completed his journey with the skin removal surgery, she has a way to go a little more. What are fans talking about the fundraiser?
1000 Lb Sisters: Tammy Reveals She Is No More Addicted To Food To Stay Happy!
Giving up unhealthy food habits is a big part of Tammy Slaton’s healthy lifestyle. She realized that she would flourish in her weight loss journey only by making changes. Hence, she is now glad that she did it because she is living the best phase of her life. In August of last year, the 1000 Lb Sister star opened up herself fully to talk about how she had overcome her insecurities.
In Tammy’s posted video, netizens watched her calling herself not a nice person. She explained that whenever she seems pissed, she stays alone to calm down rather than approaching the situation hurriedly. She worked to not turn to anger or food to be happy or shed pounds and feel good about herself. It might not come easy, but she made improvements slowly.
1000 Lb Sisters: Is Tammy’s GoFundMe Genuine? Fans Speculate!
In January, Tammy Slaton took her Instagram to post GoFundMe, which her family created to support her half-sister, Katie Slaton. Her cousin was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and required a good amount of funds to continue chemo and fulfill other additional expenses. In the caption, Tammy first apologized before asking for a favor from fans.
Tammy said that she and her siblings couldn’t find another option but to raise money for Katie and her family. She added that if someone cannot donate, they can pray for her cousin’s well-being and speedy recovery. However, some fans showed their lack of trust in the TLC star and her entire family.
Many Instagram users were skeptical about giving their money to the fundraiser. A fan informed others that Tammy had already contributed to the page, but they didn’t know why her name was invisible. This led other commenters to agree and say that the Slatons are famous for fooling around innocent people.
For netizens, this was neither the first time nor the last fundraiser from Slatons and her extended brood. Several people found it odd that there was no information about the hospital where Tammy’s sister was being treated. If they truly needed the money, they would have given the full address and name of the doctors and hospital.
