HOW TO HELP TAMMY CRABTREE

[updated 08/13/06]

In 2001, shortly after the first broadcast of PEOPLE LIKE US, a support fund was established in response to the outpouring of interest in helping Tammy Crabtree and her family.

Since then, many people have written in to ask how Ms Crabtree is doing. Ms Crabtree is still working at Burger King, although she now lives much closer to work. Her son Matt Heid is working in a local factory and has a new baby. She has been very moved by all the offers of help.

The film's producers are accepting all correspondence on behalf of Tammy and Matt. If you'd like to make a monetary donation, please send a check or money order made out to the person you wish to support, care of the address below. You may enclose a note and we'll forward the envelope to them.

Tammy loves to hear from people who have seen her in the film, and any correspondence will be forwarded unopened to her.
