Help Randy Pay For Medical Bills & Expenses!

Hello friends, my name is Randy Plummer. I am a 27 year old Native American male that has been left crippled and forced to walk with a walker. My nightmare began in May of this year.

I was a healthy young man who worked full time as a mason. My duties included mixing cement, lifting heavy blocks, and made custom fireplaces, as well as pizza ovens. Shortly after receiving my second covid shot, I began having all sorts of medical issues. I had to spend 8 days in the hospital while both autoimmune doctors and neurologists ran test after test on me. This included: Multiple MRI’s of my back, spine, and head, X-rays, cat scans, ultrasounds, lumbar punctures, full battery of blood tests, and more recently, and EMG of my limbs. So far, everything has come back negative and we still have no reason as to my falling or my inability to walk. I also had an unexplained growth appear in my right ear which burst, causing a severe ear infection that sent me back into the hospital. I was eventually seen by an ENT specialist at Loma Linda Hospital. I fought one infection for 20 days, then it jumped to my other ear for an additional 10 days. While I am currently infection free, I have unfortunately lost the hearing in my right ear as a result. I am currently talking with my specialist about surgery, which he anticipates will recoup my hear by about 60%. While my insurance has approved both occupational, as well as physical therapy, I still continue to have no feeling in my right leg and foot. I currently have a numbness and tingling sensation from my diaphragm, down, and somewhat into my hands as well. I’m also working with a neurologist who is continuing to test me and search for a diagnosis.

At this time I feel as though my life is completely in limbo, due to an unknown future. I’ve been unemployed since the end of May, and I have no way of supporting myself since I can no longer walk without the assistance of a walker. I can not drive myself because I can’t feel the bottom of my feet, so I feel as though I have lost my independence as an individual. I currently have medical bills that reach well over $3,200, with more on the way. I will also be needing special shoes, a cart to get around much easier, as well as other expenses that will arise as we learn more. I have been borrowing money from credit card and family members to pay my bills. My mother is currently taking a leave of absence from work to help drive me around and care for the rest of my needs. If you can contribute to my page, I would most certainly appreciate it! Thank you all for your help and support in these times, and please feel free to share!

Thank You,

—Randy Plummer
