Cody is a stay at home dad to our son (age 4) and daughter (age 11) while I work in the healthcare field. We made this decision at the beginning of the pandemic to help with remote school and save a little money on childcare. I make enough to get by on our day to day life. He is our whole world and was taken away by a raid and search team in the early morning just a few days ago. The reason behind this was something they say allegedly happened 10 months ago. How can someone be taken away like that, when every day is the same routine of waking up bring me to work come home care for our home and son pick me up from work and just stay home and do family dinner and activities. He is the kindest most family oriented person I have ever known and everyone he knows would say the same. I'm asking for help, any help to ensure he can get the best representation to get to come home ASAP. They are saying no matter his major family ties he may not be able to come home prior to trial. The public defender says it looks bleak and looking at at least a year before even a trial. He is a crucial part to our home and well being and I'm reaching out and praying for anything to help us. The strain alone on his kids missing their father and not knowing what is happening is going to destruct their childhood and as their mother I am desperate to prevent their pain.

UPDATES
Update #6 June 2022
June 12, 2022
I am not sure if anyone reads these but it helps me either way and putting an updated picture of our son. Yesterday our son and myself got to visit Cody as an early birthday present for myself (turning 30 tomorrow). Its really starting to become harder to afford to go see him with the gas prices the way that they are, and keeping up with child care and all our other bills. I will continue to struggle in order to be able to see my other half though and for our kids to be able to see their father. Every time our son visits him he is truly full of pure joy and so good and relaxed the whole time. Cody is such an essential part of our whole family dynamic it breaks my heart daily knowing he's not home. As always please continue to donate everything goes towards Cody and our family. Sentencing next month so please please please keep the prayers coming.
Update #5
May 22, 2022
First I want to thank everyone who has been supporting our family through this. We are going through more financial strain being able to finally visit Cody but obviously with gas prices and everything I am not longer able to afford to see him every week. Cody has sentencing in July to see how long he will get and with only 1 phone call a day it's hard to see where his mindset is. I appreciate every donation so far, but please don't lose sight of the goal as we still would appreciate reaching it. Thank you again and above all else God is watching and taking care of us all <3
Update #4
January 11, 2022
Cody was finally able to call today after another 8 day quarantine in his cell for 24 hours. This is becoming a trend unfortunately and kills me every time it happens. He missed our sons 5th birthday because of this. After Christmas and our son\'s birthday the financial burden is hitting hard and trying to keep up with now car issues and more, its getting tougher. However, i know we will get through this, just have to take it hour by hour.
