Cody Carter is my wonderful son-in-law, and I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow from a young teenager into a devoted husband and loving father. He’s the kind of person who always puts his family first, working tirelessly to make sure his children and wife have everything they need. With two little ones at home and a third baby on the way, Cody has always found a way to provide, no matter the challenge.

Yesterday, Cody was in a terrible car accident that left him hospitalized at Baptist Hospital. He suffered a broken leg and may have broken his left ankle as well. Tomorrow, he will undergo surgery on his right leg. The accident has turned their world upside down—Cody is the sole provider for his family, and now he faces months of recovery without the ability to work. To make matters even more difficult, their only vehicle was totaled in the accident, and his wife is experiencing complications with her pregnancy, requiring frequent trips to Winston to see specialists.

The funds raised will help cover transportation, gas, food, and mounting medical bills, as Cody has no health insurance. They will also help with hospital expenses, the many trips back and forth for both Cody’s recovery and the baby’s care, and help keep a roof over their heads and the lights on for their children. Cody and his wife are an amazing young couple, working hard to build a future for their family. They had hopes of buying a home this year, but this accident has brought unexpected setbacks. We come to you with a heavy heart, asking for prayers and support from our community. If you can help Cody and his family now, it would mean so much to them as they work to keep their children safe, fed, and cared for during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, would be deeply appreciated.
