Campaign Story

     We are reaching out to share the story of someone very special to our school and community—a dedicated teacher and colleague who has given so much of herself to others. For the past seven years, she and her husband have been on a difficult and emotional infertility journey. Throughout this time, they have invested countless resources—financially, emotionally, and physically—into pursuing their dream of becoming parents. Unfortunately, the fertility treatments they have undergone have not been successful, and the cost of those efforts has left them burdened with significant debt.

    Now, they are preparing to take the next step in their journey: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This step brings hope, but it also comes with a heavy financial cost. At this time, they have not been able to begin the IVF process because of the debt they still carry from the initial treatments. They have worked tirelessly, and even applied for several grants, but sadly have not been selected to receive that financial assistance.

     This is where we, as a community, have the chance to step in and give back. This teacher has poured her heart into the classroom, her students, and all of us. She shows up each day with kindness, dedication, and a love for shaping young lives. Now, she and her husband need support from the same community she has given so much to.

     By contributing, we can help ease the financial weight of this journey and bring them closer to the family they have been longing for. Every little bit makes a difference, and together we can give back to someone who has selflessly given her all.

     Thank you for considering joining us in supporting this wonderful couple on their path to parenthood.
