Prayers and Pickles for Randi

Help for Randi Busby

In the early hours of July 19th, our dear Randi Busby suffered a sudden cardiac episode and has been in the hospital since. She’s showing signs of improvement, but as of today is still heavily sedated in the ICU so the full extent of her injuries, and recovery plan, are not known. Doctors spent the early days getting and keeping her stabilized. In the last two days the priority has been trying to wean her from the sedatives to wake her. Once she is awake, they can begin the arduous process of determining the cause and damage, and then begin what will be a very long recovery and rehabilitation plan.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to Richard and Randi’s family asking how they can help. Right now, Randi is in the ICU. While she’d appreciate flowers or a good jar of pickles, the things they need most are prayers and good vibes. We know Randi can feel the love around her, so thank you for sharing Randi’s story with your prayer warriors. Her family has been touched and a bit overwhelmed from the love pouring in for Randi and Richard from all over the world. Those of us who know Randi are not surprised that she has touched so many people with her laugh, her compassion, friendship and love. From Estonia to Glasgow to North Carolina and Florida, to the great state of Texas and more, Randi has made friends and an impact on everyone she has met.

Along with your prayers and good vibes, Randi’s family will also need financial help. Randi’s recovery will likely include weeks, if not months of rehabilitation and will come with staggering medical bills, with Randi out of work for an extended period of time.

If you are inclined to help, you can donate here through this secured link. All the funds will go directly to the Busbys to use for Randi’s care and recovery. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Randi's recovery journey.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate: Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.

2. Share: Please share with Randi’s friends and family, and with your network as much as you’re able.

3. Support: Your thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes are also incredibly valuable to us during this challenging time. Keep them coming as we know Randi can feel them.

On behalf of Randi, Richard, Zoey, Lindsay, Dixie, Charles, and Katie, thank you for the outpouring of love, concern and generosity toward our girl. If you know Randi, you’ll know she’s a fighter. We’ll all continue to help and cheer her on as she battles in the days ahead.

With heartfelt thanks,

Richard & Family
