Cody Bird, the Ripley Teenager who was seriously injured in an auto accident earlier this year.
RIPLEY – The friends and family of Cody Bird are asking area residents to help chip in and cover the cost of upgrading their home and making it handicapped accessible.
Cody is a Ripley teenager and the oldest of five siblings. He was recently involved in a serious auto accident. As a result, he will spend the next several months in a wheel chair as he works to fully recuperate from his injuries. Before he can return home, his family needs to build a wheel chair ramp and renovate two rooms in the house.
Local business Southern Tier Restoration is working with the family and Home Depot to upgrade the home and has already donated $1600 to help with the effort. The business is also encouraging other contracting businesses along with residents to also donate money or supplies. To find out how you can help the family of Cody Bird, call Southern Tier Restoration at (716)345-4715 or call Cody’s mother, Delise Bird, at (716) 397-0685.
