Hello, my name is James Randle, and I’ve spent the last 20 years trying to survive one battle after another. When I was just 32, I suffered two life-altering strokes. Since then, I’ve lost vision in my left eye due to glaucoma, developed severe diabetes, and have been confined to a wheelchair because of recurring osteomyelitis, a painful bone infection. Doctors have pushed for leg amputation, but I’ve refused. I still believe there’s hope for healing and a better life.

Today, I’m living in a nursing home — not because I want to, but because I don’t have the means to live anywhere else. This nursing home has been abusive, neglectful, and harmful to my health. I’m served food that worsens my diabetes and I receive little to no proper medical care. It’s not a place for healing, it’s a place where people are slowly forgotten.

My dream is to move into assisted living, where I can get real care, be treated with dignity, and where I can live with peace instead of fear. Assisted living would give me a safe and clean space, daily support, medical treatment, and a chance to manage my health instead of watching it spiral.

But assisted living costs $3,000 per month, and my insurance doesn’t come close to covering it.

My Overall Goal: $36,000

With your help, I’m hoping to raise enough to cover:
