Turning compassion into action. 💛
We’re deeply moved by this family’s words and by the generosity of Tony and Kay NesSmith and their foundation, whose gift—alongside Resistol’s Cowboys Who Care Foundation—is helping Lily take a major step toward life-changing treatment in Italy.
The NesSmiths created their foundation in memory of their son, Cody, whose spirit continues to shine through every child helped in his honor. This act of kindness reminds us all that love can outlast loss and that hope can be the most powerful legacy of all.
Thank you to everyone who continues to give, believe, and make moments like this possible. 🤠💛
Today, I want to thank Mr. Tony NesSmith, his wife Mrs. Kay NesSmith and their foundation
& Resistols Cowboys foundation for a gift that will forever change Lily’s life and help make her medical journey to Italy possible.
Words truly fall short when trying to express the gratitude that we feel.
The NesSmiths foundation was created in honor of their son, Cody, who was taken far too soon by childhood cancer. And yet, even though their son is no longer here with us physically, his life is still making an impact in this world — helping children, bringing hope, changing lives and the future of our children.
Because of that beautiful legacy, Lily is one step closer to the care she desperately needs in Italy.
Thank you for turning loss into love, grief into purpose, and remembrance into action.
Your son is still shining through every child you help and our family will carry that with us forever.
I won’t be sharing the amount, but please know it’s going directly toward Lily’s medical care. As we’ve gone deeper into this process, we’ve realized the total cost is more than we first expected, so this won’t be added to her GoFundMe total.
Mr. & Mrs. NesSmith, Resistol Cowboys …
From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. 🤍
