Cody is the father of a beautiful one-year-old son, Cohen and together they reside with Emily, Cody’s fiancée. Cody has two older sisters, Amber and Michelle, and two nephews and one niece. Growing up, was anything but typical for Cody. Dealing with illness and surgeries made it difficult to develop friendships but, he and his now 18-year-old cousin Anthony were very close. If you saw one, the other was not far behind. Anthony was the first to step up to be tested hoping he would be a match for Cody. Unfortunately, after extensive testing, it was determined Anthony could not donate part of his liver. Anthony was devastated but will remain right by Cody until a liver does become available. After all, both young men plan on pursuing a career in Law Enforcement together once this battle is behind them.

Transplants are life-saving but are financially draining. Even with insurance, Cody is facing very high expenses. He receives his medical care in Burlington, Mass which is nearly 100 miles from his home. There are now and will continue to be well after transplant, many trips to Lahey Medical. Besides travel, the anti-rejection medications he will need to take for the rest of his life are enormously expensive. There are co-pays, lab fees and more that total more than Cody can handle on his own. Cody needs your help!

To help with the financial burden of Cody’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Northeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

Through it all, I see positivity, fear, hope, and most of all, love. Cody has so many people in his life who love him dearly and a son and fiancée who are counting on him. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

With sincere gratitude,

Darla Fletcher (Cody’s mom)
