Help support Tammy‘s recovery

My name is Crystal Randa, Tammy Randa is my Aunt. I am very close to her, she is like a second Mom to me and she is Grammy Tammy to my 4 year old daughter.

On the evening of December 1st 2024 I received a call from my Aunt Tammy, she had been suffering with severe back pain and now she could not stand or walk. She was taken by ambulance and admitted to the hospital. After many tests, CAT scans and MRIs she was diagnosed with a condition called Osteomyelitis and an abscess on her spine. This is a very rare infection that got into the bone. This causes horrible pain.

She was in the hospital for five days on very strong intravenous antibiotics. She was then sent home with a pick line for the antibiotics which was in for 7 weeks. Throughout this time, she had in-home nursing and in-home PT. After seven weeks, the infection had cleared, but the damage to the spine takes a long time to heal, and this has been a slow and painful recovery for her.

My aunt has been off work since November 21st. It has been over five months now and as you can imagine this unexpected time away from work has been a struggle financially for her. She is hopeful that she will be able to return to work soon. But there is also uncertainty there.

Throughout this time, it has been very overwhelming and stressful for her. I am asking for your help for my aunt during this difficult time. I am hoping to raise enough money to help with her living expenses, and high insurance deductibles.

Any donation you can make to help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Crystal
