Dear family, friends, and wholehearted kind community,

This GoFundMe has been set up to support Rodney and his fiancée Cindy, who were devastated by the Eaton Canyon fire and the many wildfires affecting the area. Rodney, a beloved mentor in the fitness community for over 30 years, and Cindy have always been there for others, offering help and support without ever asking for anything in return. They have touched many lives through their kindness and generosity, and now they need the support of their community.

The fire tragically destroyed their home, belongings, chickens, and a large portion of their cherished garden in Sierra Madre, a space they had poured their hearts into over the years. Their garden was a symbol of their love and dedication to each other and the community. In the midst of the fire, they had only minutes to grab a few essentials, leaving behind their entire life and countless irreplaceable memories.

Rodney and Cindy are the kind of people who would do anything for others, even in their own times of hardship. Despite their loss, they have never been the type to ask for help. Now, their friends and community are coming together to offer the support they deserve. We are asking for donations of any size to help them rebuild their lives. No amount is too small, and every contribution will make a difference as they work to regain their hope and start over.

We, Michelle and Justin, who are organizing the campaign, are deeply grateful for the kindness and generosity shown by everyone who is offering their help. Prayers, shares, and donations are all appreciated as they aim to help Rodney and Cindy heal and begin recovering their lives after this heartbreaking tragedy.
