Two months ago, Cody started having difficulty with breathing and circulation when he would exert too much energy. He was admitted to the hospital several times and each time the doctors could find nothing. Cody deteriorated so quickly over those two months that he could barely stand and was unable to work. They were finally able to get a second opinion and discovered Cody had Tricuspid Regurgitation and his tricuspid valve needed to be replaced. Cody underwent open heart surgery to correct this on June 27, 2019. Not only did he have to endure this unexpected procedure, but the doctors had to go back in to control the bleeding afterwards. 
This has been a very difficult time for Cody's family of six. Cody is only 31 years old, so this condition was completely unexpected and occurred very suddenly. His wife, Denise, has very little help providing for their 4 children as Cody is the sole provider for their family. With Cody unable to work these past two months, his family's financial burden continues to grow. His recovery is expected to last another three months in addition to the two months he has been unable to work. Five months of medical bills, household bills, and daily expenses has the family under constant stress. 
We are asking those who are able, and so inclined, to make contributions to lessen this family's financial burden. Any and all contributions will go directly to provide for Cody, Denise, and their children's needs.
