Refuge Stays

Mission:


Over the last five and a half years, Cody Billins has been living with cancer — recovering from multiple brain surgeries and receiving countless rounds of cancer treatments. Despite his own hardships, he was inspired to help other pediatric cancer patients. 


In 2021, Cody founded a nonprofit organization called Refuge Stays to relieve the burden of financial stress associated with treatment and provide temporary housing to pediatric cancer patients and their families. Cody wanted to give hope and comfort to others going through his same journey. 


In honor of Cody's life, we are continuing to support children and their families — one stay at a time. 


This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. - Psalm 91:2 NLT
