Cody, Kristian and Otsonen

Cody and Kristian's little one, Otsonen, was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare, life-threatening genetic condition. This genetic anomaly impacts his immune system, putting him at a very high risk of contracting viral and bacterial infections. This will be a long road for their family - multiple specialists are involved in his care and several treatments lie ahead, including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and a stem cell transplant.

As a result of his condition, Otsonen cannot be in childcare or school settings. Cody is taking a leave from her job as a midwife to care for him at home.

The financial realities of this disease are a heavy burden to bear, particularly with Cody off work. Supporting them through this GoFundMe will help to cover living expenses like their mortgage, car payments, hospital parking, groceries and making special memories together as a family.
