Jessi, Louie, and Cody with medical and housing

Hi!
We're Jessi and Cody.
Over the last two years our life together has drastically changed. We were blessed with the most beautiful boy, a successful surgery, and experiencing the honor it is to be a parent.

After working through and finding medical treatment to treat my seizures I developed during pregnancy, I started having back problems.

My first sciatica flare was over in a few weeks and I thought if that was the worst- I'd be fine. It wasn't.

I fell down some steps on a rainy weekend night and severely injured my back. I have been out of work for four months and recovery may take up to 6 more since I have had surgery (hopefully 3 but I was also supposed to have surgery in June so... who knows)
Sadly, this isn't a fully year and we do not qualify for disability, snap, or other programs.
We'll be relying on food pantries and Cody will be working 50+ hours per week, in a warehouse, with a terrible back, just to provide for us.
My mother has been supportive in every single way but we are at the point in which I have to ask for help. I was able to contribute one single paycheck and have been unable to walk until 9/25/25.
With all of this comes medical bills, mortgage payments, daycare expenses, LG&E, trash, water, and honestly the most important thing is Louie seeing his specialists.
If you can donate towards copay's for that we'd be grateful. He's not yet two and is a child with autism that has to see an array of specialists because of how young he is to show signs. And we want him as comfortable as possible.

No one has to donate, it's not required. But if you could share, even send a thought, it is appreciated.
