Support Enrique “Ricky” Rodriquez - Fighting Leukemia

My name is Andrew McKeegan, and I’m raising funds for my friend and Boilermaker brother, Enrique “Ricky” Rodriguez.

I first met Ricky about three years ago while we were working together at the St. Marys warehouse. Since then, we’ve built a friendship through long hours, shared laughs, and tough days on the job—just like many of us do in this trade.

This past year, Ricky’s life was turned upside down. He was diagnosed with Leukemia and has been off work since August 2024. After beginning treatment in September, Ricky was told in December that he would have to go through it all again. He’s now going through his fourth round of intense treatment, including bone marrow extraction, a stem cell transplant, and chemotherapy that completely wipes out his immune system. He just returned home after six long weeks in the hospital, and while he’s in good spirits, the road ahead is still long.

Anyone who knows Ricky knows he’s tough, but no one should have to fight this battle alone. I started this fundraiser to try and ease some of the financial stress he and his family are under, and to help him focus on what really matters—getting better.

If you’re able to donate, share, or simply send a message of support, it would mean a lot. Boilermakers look out for each other, and now it’s our turn to be there for Ricky.
