Rod has always been the kind of person you can count on. As my partner, he’s been a constant source of strength and support not just for me, but for everyone around him. If someone needs help, Rod is the first to show up, always willing to go above and beyond for friends, family, and even strangers. Now, he’s facing one of the toughest challenges of his life, and it’s our turn to be there for him.

Recently, Rod experienced a medical emergency that resulted in the amputation of his left foot and a portion of his left leg. This life-changing event has brought unexpected out-of-pocket medical and living expenses, the need for extensive rehabilitation, and the challenge of adapting to a new way of living. The road ahead will require not only physical healing, but also emotional and financial support as Rod works to regain his independence and adjust to his new normal.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering Rod’s out-of-pocket medical and living expenses, rehabilitation costs, and essential mobility aids like wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters. In the coming months, he may also need to move to a new residence with accessibility features to help him navigate daily life. Every donation, no matter the size, will help Rod access the care and tools he needs to rebuild and thrive. Your support—whether it’s financial, a phone call, a visit, or a prayer—means the world to us. Thank you for standing with Rod as he faces this challenge with courage and determination.
