Support for Children of Rail-Road Workers
Who Have Lost Their Parent – And Slipped Through the Cracks.
Welcome to The Cody Ron Foundation
We’re Here for the Ones Left Behind
The Cody Ron Foundation was born from real loss, real love, real gap in support. Founded in honor of Cody Ron Blaquiere – a devoted rail-road worker, father, son – This foundation exists to uplift the children of railroaders who have passed away, especially those who don’t qualify for traditional support.
Too often, children lose access to aid simply because their surviving parent remarried, custody shifted, or paperwork didn’t fit the mold. But grief isn’t one-sized-fits-all. That’s where we come in.
We offer care, comfort, and community – built on the belief that love deserves to outlast loss.
Our Mission
To bring care, connection, and dignity to the children of railroad workers who’ve passed – especially those left out off legacy systems. Through personal outreach, joy-created programming, and storytelling that heals, we’re keeping their storied – and their families – on track.
What we do!

The Caboose Club

“After my dad passed, I felt like no one knew how much was taken from me. This foundation gave me something I didn’t expect – joy again.”
