After his discharge in 2000, Rodney went to school to learn HVAC and found a company with on-the-job training. It did not take him long to become the office manager as well going out to field as needed. From there Rodney worked 13 years for Housing Works in Brooklyn, an organization that helps the homeless and low-income population living with HIV/AIDS or at-risk infection. He started as the Facility Manager and then served as the Director for his last two years there; he had to be medically retired, due to debilitating arthritis.

Rodney and his wife Stephanie have been together for 17 years and have raised 10 adult children, who live all over the country. They have five grandchildren and one on the way. He enjoys fishing in the Atlantic Ocean for a wide variety of fish and still goes bowing. Rodney was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2023 and has only recently started dialysis, keeping him alive until he receives a transplant. We are working to help this 48-year-old husband, father and grandfather get his health back. Will you join our mission to find a kidney for Rodney? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact in his life and the lives of his family!
