A Life Stolen at 21 & Cody’s 5-Yr Terminal APS Battle: In 2021, healthy 21yo Cody got COVID-19 mRNA vax & developed catastrophic APS blood clotting diorder. Now 26, he has had his fifth stroke and fights treatment-resistant autoimmune clotting destroying his blood, speech & organs.
Medical Crisis: One of the most severe APS cases ever documented.
Since 2021: 5 strokes (latest 2026 large R frontal lobe; 2024 large left frontal; 3 prior). 2026 stroke stole clear speech, word-finding & advanced reading. Must relearn left hand/arm use.
Systemic Microangiopathy: Scans show extensive microclots scarring kidneys, liver & brain tissue.
Heart/Lung Damage: Multiple PEs, leaky valve, pulm hypertension, Libman-Sacks endocarditis. Speed bump causes blackout pain.
Hemolytic Anemia: Immune system destroys RBCs faster than replacement, causing severe anemia, O2 deprivation & toxin release leading to bone-deep exhaustion.
Terminal Dx: Standard blood thinners fail Cody and do not work for him. He needs urgent off-label immune modulation to halt APS Abs or organs fail.
Mission: Please help fund his move to Central FL for aggressive immune therapy—it is his only hope to clear deadly APS antibodies before to avoid total organ failure. Cost: $120k/yr (off-label, insurance is stingy for off-label- even for life saving drugs). Our family financially ruined from 5 years of providing care/treatments.
Ongoing: Need- Specialized treatment, tools, equip for 5th stroke recovery + move & transport due to fragility/extreme pain from organ scarring and damage.
Challenges: We are over 2 hrs away from specialists; Cody is too fragile for 5-hr ROUND TRIP travel. We Need to relocate family near treatment.
Urgency: Cody can’t have the open heart surgery he needs for his 2 Libman-Sacks heart blood clots & valve replacement until his APS in remission via the immune modulation.
