God Is In Their Hearts Fund Keeps Rollin Miller Alive
Rollin Miller 22, paralyzed from the neck down, rests at the Florida Sanitarium in Orlando. Kiwanis clubs in Lake County raise a Rollin Miller Fund to provide about $100 weekly to cover care and keep him from hospitals or nursing homes. Kenny Pearce first found him, and Reedy later shared the tale of Miller’s gratitude and faith amid pain. The drive asks for $1 weekly or $1 monthly pledges to sustain his life and the hospital care he relies on daily.
