A message from Rodney’s wife. “Thank you for considering our family. There are many news articles and reports about Rodney’s deterioration in detention. Yet, he is still detained and we need YOUR help!
This crowdfunding platform was updated several times to provide updates on Rodney. While detained, financial hardship, and steps to keep him alive and not deported to a grave, fell heavy on our family. We are a family of 7 kids. With age ranges from 23-6 years old. Our youngest Annie, was only 4 years old when she witnessed her dad get detained by ICE. As of today April 28, 2026, Rodney has been detained for over 15 months.
This is where your support has gone:
• Ongoing legal representation: $20,000>
• Travel expenses: Renting a car, gas, food for a family of 6: $300> each visit AND each visit is a 6 hour commute for a 1 hour visit. We often leave our home at 5:30am and often return after 6:30pm.
• Basic living expenses during this crisis. To keep Rodney’s mental state in tact, he calls frequently. Sometimes 4-5x a day. The calls are $5 per hour: messaging and video calls are more expensive. Therefore the monthly phone bill average $500 x 15 months and commissary average $300 x 15 months.
• Support for his family who depended on his now lost income. Lost income $4000 monthly x 15 months. We struggle EVERY month.
I ask that you continue your support even by sharing the link of Rodney’s gofundme on your social media platforms. We deeply appreciate ALL YOUR SUPPORT!”-Mrs. Danis-Taylor

Rodney Taylor has always been the kind of man who gives more than he takes.
At just 10 years old, Rodney became a double amputee. What could have defined his life instead became the foundation of his resilience. He learned early how to navigate a world not built for him — how to move through pain with dignity, how to adapt, how to persist when doors closed. Those lessons shaped him into the man his community knows today.
Rodney arrived in the United States from Liberia as a small child, brought here for life-saving medical care. America became his home. Here, he built a life rooted in service, faith, and community. For years, Rodney worked as a master barber — not just cutting hair, but restoring confidence, offering mentorship, and creating safe space for conversation. He gave free haircuts to young boys who couldn’t afford them. He showed up for community events. He checked on elders. He believed that dignity belongs to everyone.
Then everything changed.
In January 2025, Rodney was taken into ICE detention.
For over a year, he has been held at Stewart Detention Center in Georgia. A disabled man. A double amputee. A husband. A father of 7. A community leader.
Detention has taken a severe toll on his health. Rodney now faces medical complications he did not have prior to being detained. His blood pressure has reached dangerous levels. He has endured prolonged periods without access to food because he cannot physically walk long distances without assistance. He has been forced to wear his prosthetics for extended hours, causing bleeding, chafing, and open wounds at his amputation sites. He has experienced solitary confinement after being unable to walk.
Yet even inside detention, Rodney continues to serve. He cuts hair for fellow detainees. He encourages others who are losing hope. He remains a source of light in a place designed to dim it.
This is not just a legal case. This is a humanitarian crisis.
Rodney’s continued detention has devastated his family emotionally and financially. His wife has been fighting tirelessly — advocating at the Georgia Capitol, speaking at congressional hearings, organizing community support — all while carrying the weight of medical uncertainty and mounting expenses. Legal fees, medical advocacy, travel to detention centers, and basic household costs have stretched their family beyond capacity.
Rodney deserves proper medical care. He deserves dignity. He deserves to come home.
Your support will help cover:
• Ongoing legal representation
• Travel expenses so his family can visit him
• Basic living expenses during this crisis; phone and commissary
• Support for his family who depended on his now lost income.
Every donation, every share, every support is appreciated!
Rodney has spent his life giving to others. Now he needs us.
Please Help Support Rodney and his family. Bring Rodney Taylor home.
