Cody's Fresh Start Charity Works

12/18/2025

Happy Holidays! 🎅🏻 For all of you who followed me on Cody’s Fresh Start social media for years, I haven’t completely disappeared. You can now follow me on One Mother’s Perspective social media accounts - so far I have Facebook, Instagram, and Substack accounts.

I post my blog, other notes and content on Substack every month and will be posted to these other accounts. I really like Substack for writing.

In addition, I am doing a free monthly Zoom meeting for all my parents and family members who participated in our family program and anyone else who would like to attend. The next one will be Tuesday, January 13th. See below.

Meeting ID: 890 8162 4947
Passcode: 027717

Thanks to Rae Sheppard for creating the new flyer. Shes been coming to our family program for years.

Thanks, Mary

Please visit and like my new Page, One Mother’s Perspective, which will replace the CFS page eventually. It will have my blogs posted each month on the page as well as other related information. Thank you! Mary

Hi Everyone! I reactivated the CFS social media for my new blog, which has become way more difficult to set up than I anticipated. I had to get help from my graphic designer, and we went in a different direction with setting it up. I’m eventually going to have to set up a new writing page to complete this process, but for my first blog which will be published March 1st (written in January) will be done through Mailchimp by email and posted to the CFS social media accounts until I set up the new writing one. If you would like to be added to the monthly blog email list, please email me at [email protected] and I will add you or comment below if I already have your email. I’m excited about my first blog with all new content. Thanks, Mary
