Please donate to help Deputy Victor Rodriguez

The Augusta's River Region Chapter of the Police Benevolent Association of Georgia and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for financial assistance for Deputy Victor Rodriguez with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

Just after midnight on Thursday, Richmond County deputies responded to a call about an armed robbery. When Deputy Victor Rodriguez arrived on scene, the suspect opened fire. Victor was shot multiple times, yet even while wounded, he courageously returned fire to protect others. A second deputy engaged the gunman, bringing the violent encounter to an end.

Victor is now in the hospital in stable condition with a long road to recovery ahead. He is more than a deputy. He is a husband and the proud father of a young daughter. While he heals, he will not only be away from his regular duties for an unknown period of time but he will also lose the off-duty work that so many in law enforcement rely on to provide for their families.

The Rodriguez family needs our community now more than ever. Medical bills, household expenses, and the everyday costs of raising a family will continue while their husband and father fights to recover.

Victor put his life on the line to keep this community safe. Let us show him and his family that this community stands with them in their time of need.

Every prayer, every share, and every donation matters. Please consider contributing and spreading the word to support Deputy Victor Rodriguez and his family.

100% of the monies received by the PBF will go to help Deputy Victor Rodriguez and his wife during their time of need.
