Last week Roderick Cunningham was struck by a car and killed while crossing the street.

Roderick was a father, a grandfather, a brother, a son, a cousin and the rock on which his family depended. This family lost so much. Please contribute generously to help with funeral costs and to support the family financially through this difficult time.

Gabriel, his wife of 19 years, says, "I want people to realize that it's not just the holiday season, it was also his kids' birthday. The next day we were going to have a birthday party for two of his kids. His son just turned 16 and on Christmas, our daughter turns 18. The one thing he kept saying is 'I just want to see my babies grow up'.

For me, it's about my children.  Yes I'm suffering, but I didn't lose a father. I don't know how to help them through. I'm doing my best.  To the people who are looking to help me --please, help my children and bless them."
