The first was a pair of hand-made shoes that the world needed to see to understand the plight and productivity of the Kurdish people and the second was an overwhelming list of children waiting for life-saving heart surgery outside the country.

When she helped co-found the Preemptive Love Coalition in 2007 few of us had any idea that she would one day be the director of a full-fledged family services team in Iraq serving families as they prepare for - and return from - life-saving heart surgery outside the country. | Cody first felt his heart drawn toward international catastrophes while watching a major earthquake in Pakistan in the post-9/11 world.

Cody now serves as the U.S. Director and gives guidance to events, fundraising, and partnership development. Read more of Cody’s story… |
