Rod Aycox became
a visionary in the money lending industry when he thought of a quick and easy
way to receive loans. He founded his fist company in 1990 at just 24 years old.
He started small and created an extremely smart business plan for growth. Soon,
Rod opened company outlets and expanded his business at a very quick pace. He
now owns Select Management Resources which controls LoanMax, North American
Title Loans, Midwest Title Loans and many other title loan stores across the
country. Rod continued to display the outstanding man he is throughout his 25
years of success by donating to communities and charities near and far. Rod
Aycox has always been a firm believer of helping others, especially the youth.
On July 18 Rod
Aycox companies announced its pledge to donate a very large sum of money to the
Blood of Lamb Church. The Blood of Lamb Church is based in Norfolk, Virginia
and provides support for the inner city youth through grass-roots efforts led
by Reverend Elder M.L. Brooks. Rod Aycox said “As a corporate citizen of
Norfolk community, I am proud to give back to this community. Being a father
myself, I take great pleasure in providing assistance to organizations whose
focus is to help children.”
It is no secret
that inner city impoverished neighborhoods is characterized by minimal
education opportunities, high unemployment and crime rates, broken families,
and inadequate housing. It is sad because the youth are simply victims of their
own environment, one of apathy, greed, and lack of academic importance in life.
Often, inner city youths are good children to begin with, but become influenced
by the negative influences constantly tempting them, such as drugs, violence
and crime.
Thankfully for
the Blood of Lamb Church, Reverend Elder M.L. Brooks and people who help donate
like Rod Aycox are slowly improving the inner-city youth. They have given
children a second chance at living a positive life-style by helping them
through their education and everyday struggles. Rod Aycox is the type of person
whose kindness shows naturally through his countless contributions to society and
in result brought forth immense positive change in the inner-youth.
