Tunnel to Towers Provides Home for Injured Cleveland Officer and Family

Officer Rodriguez & Family

The family of an injured police officer will spend Christmas in their new home in Pasco County, Florida. Jonathan Rodriguez was a police officer on the SWAT unit in Cleveland when he suffered a life-altering injury while on duty. In 2020, Rodriguez was responding to a call when a drunk driver hit him. He suffered a spinal cord injury and is paralyzed from the chest down. Zuleika, who is also a police officer, says she never imagined they would be blessed with something like this. “Now, my goal is to give him a better life with the kids,” Zuleika said. The “smart” house is ADA-accessible and has technology and features that help Rodriguez move more easily through his daily life.
