Allies for Aldwin

Donation protected
Aldwin, it’s a name you don't hear very often without "and Ethan" or "and Amy." He’s a twin, a loving husband, a brother to six lucky siblings, the youngest son of Bill and Karen Rood, an uncle from the day he was born, and a father to 4 beautiful cats.

Aldwin is a fun and outgoing person. He runs Spartan races with his brother. He works with renewable energy installing solar panels. He plays the bagpipes as a member of Clan Ross and uses this talent to be an active member of the community. Aldwin brings the gift of music to weddings and helps to honor the fallen at funerals.

In a twist of fate, Aldwin had an aneurysm rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke on Thursday, December 27th while on lunch break at work. Nothing caused it, and nothing could have prevented it. He was very fortunate that he had loved ones nearby to quickly get him the help he needed. This could have been fatal, but God was on his side. He was life-flighted to Boston where the neurological staff has been working with him day and night.

Aldwin is being scheduled for brain surgery in the coming weeks to remove a group of abnormal blood vessels.

Unfortunately, Aldwin does not have any form of health insurance, leaving his family in a tight spot. He will be out of work for several months recovering. Between the life-flight, CT scans every few hours, surgery, and an extended stay in the hospital, they are looking at a substantial bill. We are asking the community to come together and help Aldwin and Amy in their time of need.

We also ask to keep him in your prayers with his upcoming surgery.

Thank you
