A new backpack for Cody as he goes back to school!

Posted Jul 20, 2017
Cody is in real need of a new backpack as he goes back to school. Cody really don't have many personal belongings and a new Under Armour backpack would mean so much to him.

Cody is 25 years old and lives in NC

Cody is a great guy but has many challenges. He was abandoned at birth and has been in kinship care all his life; being raised in a single father situation along with his biological brother. His kinship father recently passed away and he went back to live with his birth mother. Unfortunately, she passed away soon after he went to live with her. He is a happy go lucky kind of guy that has some cognitive delays. He loves going to church, fitting in with a group of boys, and playing outside. He's quite ambitious! You always see a smile on his face.
