It's been more than 14 years since my surrogate father died of lung cancer.

Rodney Taylor was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.
He’s been detained for more than 8 months.
They won’t allow him to get his new legs & put him in solitary confinement.
He needs the disability community’s help!
His petition just hit 3,000… keep it going!
