We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your support for someone we love deeply. Cody, a husband, father, friend, and all-around incredible human—who is now facing the greatest challenge of his life.

Recently, Cody was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This news has hit all of us—his family, friends, church, and community—like a shockwave. As Cody, his wife Christine (who is 8 weeks pregnant), and their young son Harvey begin this difficult journey, we are coming together to rally around them in every way possible: with prayers, presence, and practical support.

Why We’re Asking for Help

As you can imagine, a diagnosis like this brings not only emotional and physical strain, but also significant financial burdens, from medical bills and travel for treatment, to lost income and day-to-day living costs.

Our goal is to help ease some of that financial pressure so Cody and Christine can focus fully on fighting this disease, being together as a family, and holding on to hope, faith, and healing.

How You Can Help:

We’ve set up this GoFundMe on behalf of Cody and Christine, and 100% of the funds will go directly toward:

Medical expenses and specialized treatment

Travel and lodging for out-of-town appointments

Household support** (meals, childcare, etc.)

Lost income during this time of crisis

Any amount, big or small, will make a difference. And if you’re not in a position to give right now, sharing this campaign, reaching out, and keeping Cody in your prayers is just as meaningful.

A Message from Christine

“We are still processing what this means and what lies ahead, but one thing we know for certain is that we’re surrounded by incredible love and support. We are holding tight to faith, hope, and each other as we walk this journey together.”

We believe in Cody. We believe in miracles. And we believe in the power of community to surround a family in their time of greatest need.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Cody, Christine, Harvey, and their little one on the way.

With love,

Friends of the Cole Family
