Cody Can’t Fight This Alone — Let’s Lift Him Up

Hello, my name is Joanna Randolph, and I’ve had the privilege of knowing Cody and Melissa for over 15 years. Back in May, Cody started feeling unwell—so much so that even he was deeply concerned. He was experiencing massive headaches, which he later found out were actually mini seizures caused by a brain abscess. While they initially kept much of the situation private, the truth is that things were far more serious than most people realized.

Cody was eventually diagnosed with a brain abscess that had already started leaking into his brain. When surgeons operated, they had to drill a 2-inch hole in his skull, install a plate, and secure it with four screws. On top of that, he had been unknowingly walking around septic.

Cody has been unable to work for several months. Medical bills are piling up, and a recent MRI showed that the abscess is not improving. He’s currently not allowed to drive or return to work. His memory has been affected, and understandably, he’s been feeling discouraged. On top of everything, Cody is worried about how to care for Melissa and their son, Cade. They went back to the doctor today, and it looks like they will need to meet with an infectious disease specialist to discuss the possibility of another surgery.

Please continue to lift this sweet family up in your prayers. The financial burden is heavy, and Cody simply cannot work right now.

If you know Cody, you know he’s a fighter—and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Right now, he, Melissa, and Cade need our help. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward medical expenses, basic needs, and hopefully bring them some peace of mind during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for supporting this wonderful family.
