10 shots and still walking

I am reaching out to you on behalf of Carlos Rodríguez, a devoted single father who has faced unimaginable challenges in the pursuit of building a better life for his 8-year-old son. Over the past four years, Carlos has worked tirelessly, transitioning from a risky security job to establishing his own small businesses. This shift allowed him to be more present both financially and emotionally for his beloved son, his world.

However, tragedy struck on Sunday, December 3rd, when Carlos, during the perilous hours of a graveyard shift in Philadelphia, intervened in a domestic violence situation. The confrontation took a horrific turn, leaving Carlos fighting for his life after sustaining 10 gunshot wounds. Miraculously, with the love and support of his family, he survived.

Now, faced with the physical and mental aftermath of this traumatic incident, Carlos is grappling with the challenge of making ends meet. Instead of focusing on healing, he finds himself worrying each day about how to support his family. Despite the odds, his determination to provide for his son remains unwavering.

This is where your support becomes crucial. We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to assist Carlos during this challenging time. Every dollar contributed will make a meaningful impact, helping him navigate the difficult journey of recovery and provide for his family during the upcoming holidays.

Carlos deserves the opportunity to heal without the constant worry of financial strain, and your support can make that possible.

Let's come together as a community to show Carlos the love and care he has consistently demonstrated for others. Your contributions, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in his life.

Thank you for being a source of strength and support during this difficult time. Please share this campaign with your networks to help us reach as many caring hearts as possible.
