Hello, my name is Cody, and I officially start college on January 12th. I’m starting this personal fundraiser to help cover expenses for the semester, including books, school supplies, dorm essentials, and required fees. Any support—whether through donating or simply sharing this post—is deeply appreciated and truly means more than I can express.

I also want to bring awareness to a personal hardship I’m continuing to navigate: recovery from traumatic experiences. Although it has been nearly three years since those events, I am still learning how to manage life independently while moving forward. Your support helps make this next step possible, and I’m grateful for every bit of kindness shown.
