This campaign is for my first cousin, Jimmy. We grew up together and became police officers together. We are not only brothers by blood, but we are brothers in blue.
On October 1st, 2017, Sgt. James (Jimmy) Rode was responding to a 9-1-1 call, placed by an off-duty police officer, of an erratic driver. He was dispatched and he responded to the call, following normal emergency protocol and procedures.
While en route to the call, Sgt. Rode collided with another vehicle at an intersection. The operator of the vehicle not only failed to yield to an emergency vehicle, but also failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection, therefore causing the death of the operator.
On January 27, 2020, Sgt. Rode of Greenfield Police Department in Massachusetts, was wrongfully convicted of vehicular homicide and is now serving the next 9 months in prison.
The next 9 months for Jimmy's wife, children and family, will be a long tough road, both emotionally and financially.
We have set up this campaign to offset his financial obligations while he is serving time awaiting his appeal.
We are looking to raise $10,000 to cover his mortgage and living expenses for his family.
Please find it in your hearts to help out in any way you can, either by donating or sharing the link to this campaign
Any donation will help this beautiful family get through this dark time.
Pray for Jimmy.
