My name is Kody Wyatt, and for most of my life, I knew what it felt like to grow up without a voice.
As a child, I lived through difficult family situations that left me feeling powerless, confused, and alone. I remember what it felt like to sit quietly while adults made decisions that completely changed my life. I remember wishing there was someone strong enough to step in, someone who truly cared, someone who would fight for me and make sure I was safe, heard, and protected.
But for many children, that person never comes.
Those experiences shaped who I became. The pain I carried as a child never fully left me, but as I got older, I realized I could either let my past define me or let it give my life purpose.
I chose purpose.
Today, I am pursuing a path toward becoming a lawyer focused on helping children who are trapped in painful custody battles, broken homes, abuse, neglect, and unstable family situations. I want to become the kind of advocate I desperately needed when I was younger — someone children can trust to stand beside them when they feel powerless and forgotten.
This is not just a career choice for me. This is deeply personal.
I have already begun taking real steps toward this future. I’ve enrolled in college, applied for financial aid, started building my educational foundation, and committed myself fully to this journey. I am working every day to create a future that once felt impossible for me.
But the financial reality of pursuing higher education and eventually law school is overwhelming. Between tuition, books, LSAT preparation, transportation, living expenses, and other educational costs, the burden has become more than I can carry alone.
That is why I am asking for help.
I am raising $10,000 to help me continue this journey and remove the financial barriers standing between me and the opportunity to dedicate my life to helping vulnerable children.
Every donation, no matter how small, is not just helping someone go to school. It is helping build a future advocate for children who desperately need someone in their corner. It is helping transform years of pain into something meaningful that could one day change lives.
I cannot go back and change the child I once was.
But maybe I can become the person another child is praying for right now.
If you are unable to donate, even sharing my story could make a life-changing difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to anyone willing to believe in me, my future, and the mission I am fighting for.
