Rodolfo - Bend Or Drowning Accident

Donation protected
Rodolfo is our family friend. We all wanted to go to the river on Sunday July 5th to take our children. It wasn't long after we got there that Rodlfo and his friend decided to cross the deshutes River swimming. The current was stronger than usual and after getting a little over half ways Rodolfo got tired. He began to go under water and his friend rushed to help but after several attempts of trying to pull him up the current took him. He was under water unconscious for over 10 minutes. The community all got together to search for him in the water. 911 was called and they were there when Rodolfo was found. As soon as he was taken out of the water they started CPR. He is at St.Charles Hospital in Bend.  Rodolfo has 3 children and his girlfriend is 4 months pregnant with a little boy. We are asking for any type of help for his family and a lot of prayers. Any little bit helps. Rodolfo has a stable heart beat but no brain activity. We are hoping that will change. We are hoping for a miracle. Thank you to EVERYONE from the community who has reached out for all the prayers and for everyone who helped us during this tragic accident.
