Rodriguez is the the 10-year-old who was paralyzed by a stray bullet during a piano lesson at the Harmony Road Music School at 4382 Piedmont Ave. The school is part of the Piedmont Piano Company, a family-owned and operated music store that has been serving our community for 28 years. The store is located across Highway 580 from HarriOak in the Piedmont shopping district. The MediaNews story is here.
There will also be a benefit for Rodriguez at the The Chapel of Chimes (4400 Piedmont Ave) on February 10. The benefit will feature 11 bands playing from 2 p.m to 7 p.m. and proceeds will help the family with medical bills and a bunch of other costs, including a specially equipped van.
If you can't make the benefit concerts but would still like to contribute, a trust account has been set up at Wells Fargo: Christopher G. Rodriguez, Trust Account No. 7013202606. Donors may make the contribution in person or mail them to the Piedmont Avenue Wells Fargo branch, 151 40th St., Oakland, CA 94611.
