Help Cody's Fight Against Leukemia

Donation protected
My name is Josh, and my nephew, one of my favorite people in the whole world, recently turned 10 years old. He spent his birthday in a hospital, where he had been immediately admitted upon receiving his diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. ALL is an aggressive type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects white blood cells and rapidly spreads the cancerous cells throughout the body, attacking the organs.


The discovery of the leukemia in late July was a medical emergency that caused Cody to be admitted immediately so his chemotherapy could begin right away. The treatment plan for Cody's leukemia is a life-changing one. So much so that Cody will not be able to return to school for fifth grade.


My sister and brother-in-law (Cody's parents) are remaining by his side through all this, and the cost is high and will remain so for the foreseeable future. While I know this GoFundMe appears to have a high goal, I promise you it is only a fraction of the financial impact this will have on them over the next year. My goal is to attempt to ease that financial pain so their focus can remain on Cody and his treatment plan to keep him on the road to remission.

I am humbly asking for your support to help my sister and her family during this difficult time. Every donation is going directly toward:
  • A $16,500 out-of-pocket medical cost
  • Lost wages from missing work to be with Cody at the hospital for all of his treatments
  • All medical procedures not covered by insurance
  • Food and gas while traveling to and from the hospital

Cody's parents should not have to choose between paying these bills and being there with their son. With your help, they can do both.

My sincerest thanks and gratitude for every dollar and every share of this fundraiser. Updates on Cody's health and well-being will also be made on this page, to let you all know how he's doing through this difficult time.

Thank you so very much.
Josh and Cody's entire family
