  • Update Tuesday Dec 23rd 2025

    Well folks finally a little ray of sunshine on these stormy days! I finally got some time to visit Randy this past Saturday. Ill be honest I totally lost it a after seeing him and secretly went out into the hsll to deal with my emotions. The pictures do no justice. I cant imagine the pain hes in on top of being confused a little,and eager to get home. The swelling had started to go down which gave the brain bleed more room to expand. So they constantly kept testing him and finally later last night he was discharged to go hone! He still looks pretty bad. He cannot hear out of his right ear yet due to the swelling and can see a tiny bit out of his left eye now.
    So now the hard part begins as my mom becomes his full time caregiver at home. So prayers and good vibes sent there way are greatly appreciated! Thank you sooooo much to everyone that has donated their time and money,food,furniture,rides,and just about anything that my parents could use. Im so thankful for the outpouring of love my mom has recieved in the past week as well.
    We are still hoping to reach our goal and every dollar counts! Love to you all!!!!


About this fundraiser

Hey everyone! My name is Alison and I'm starting this crowdfund for my stepdad Randy Carter,who was in a car accident this past Monday morning December 15th. He was on his way to St. Marys but on the bridge at Mowen Run Rd, he hit untreated roads with a very bad patch of black ice on the bridge. He got knocked around hitting his head off of his drivers door window as well as the windshield and steering wheel. Randy broke his C2 and C3 in his neck. He was transferred from Penn Highlands St.Marys ER to Penn Highlands Dubois to see certain specialist and we were told he would be in a brace for 12 weeks and he was being sent home.  As his face swelled more and more my mom spoke up and advocated for his care and then they reluctantly agreed to admit him.

As of this morning he is in trauma ICU in Dubois and my mom received a phone call from the hospital. We new that he's was going to look and feel worse before getting better,but this has made a horrible turn and they now are worried about a brain bleed so he is being tested and scanned. Im currently waiting on a update as of 2:30.

My parents are both on a limited income. Randy keeps working at least part time just to keep them floating above water and with his income gone for a unknown amount of time my mom is overwhelmed with stress of losing the house and having utilities cut off on top of hospital co-pays and prescriptions. They are now down a vehicle and the car they have left needs inspected. With my mom dealing with her own health struggles I really worry about how this stress will effect her and I want to help relieve that stress so she can breath and they can both focus on healing. 

I will be posting updates as I am finding them out myself.  Thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes!
