Matt’s Wish

In April 2019, Ernie Rodina, Matt’s father, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. After witnessing his father’s battle with this devastating disease, Matt wanted to do something to help the 1.4 million individuals and their families who are battling this life altering affliction through donations to be directed to research for a cure. Ernie has been empowered by these circumstances, Lewy Body Dementia and the early death of his son, Matt, to share the Word of our Savior Jesus Christ, giving praise for the time we have been given and urging others to seek Him. Ernie’s message: “Don’t wait, because you never know what tomorrow will bring”.
