Campaign Story

Hi, we’re Ashley and Emmanuel. We’ve always dreamed of growing our family, and after years of hoping, we’re reaching out with humble hearts to ask for your support on our path to having another child.

Our journey to parenthood has been filled with both profound joy and heartbreaking challenges. We married in 2017 and spent years trying to conceive before learning I was struggling with infertility. We faced surgeries, hormone therapies, and countless cycles of timed intercourse—it felt like we tried everything. We eventually turned to IUI, and by a miracle, we conceived. We were overjoyed, but then devastated when we lost that first baby at just five weeks. After grieving, we tried again and were blessed with our beautiful daughter. Her pregnancy was a gift, though it ended in an emergency c-section. During that surgery, a complication left cervical tissue in my uterus, which now makes it impossible for us to conceive via IUI again. To grow our family, our only path forward is IVF.

IVF is our hope, but it comes with a significant financial burden we can’t shoulder alone. The costs for medications, procedures, and lab work are overwhelming. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly help us afford this treatment and bring us one step closer to welcoming a sibling for our four-year-old daughter.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering supporting our family. Your generosity means more than we can say, and we hold onto the hope that, with your help, our dream of expanding our family will come true.
