Courage in the Face of Adversity. US Navy Veteran Never Stops Serving Her Community.

Tami's inspiring journey showcases her resilience and dedication during her time in the US Navy and post-military life. Her commitment to community involvement and volunteering highlights her selfless nature and her desire to create a positive impact on the lives of others.

Having served in the US Navy for three years and then facing a permanent disability while stationed in Okinawa, Japan, Tami's story demonstrates her courage and determination in the face of adversity. Her dream of owning a home near her family in Wylie, Texas, became a reality in 2011, showcasing her independence and ability to overcome challenges.

Tami's passion for giving back is evident through her active participation in local nonprofits. Her dedication to volunteer work inspires others, showing that even in the face of personal obstacles, one can still contribute to the well-being of their community.

Despite the difficulties posed by her disability, Tami's unwavering spirit has allowed her to continue making a positive difference. However, the challenges of maintaining her dream home due to her disability are a poignant reminder of the additional hurdles that individuals with disabilities may face. Home maintenance can become overwhelming, especially when repairs and upkeep become more than one can manage independently.
