Campaign Story

Becoming parents has been a dream held quietly in our hearts for a long time. Like many couples, we once believed this journey would come much easier. After years of hope, prayer and medical answers, we’ve learned that our path to parenthood looks different than we ever expected.
Due to a combination of PCOS, endometriosis, and adenomyosis, conceiving naturally is not possible for us. After extensive consultations with doctors and specialist, IVF is the path that offers us the best chance to grow our family. While this wasn’t the road we expected, we are incredibly grateful that this opportunity exits.
While IVF offers us hope, it comes with an overwhelming financial burden. The costs far exceed what we are able to manage on our own, even after careful saving and planning. Asking for help does not come easily, but we are choosing to move forward with faith, optimism, and trust in what lies ahead.
This fundraiser represents more than medical treatment. It represents community, love, and the many people helping us put the pieces of our story together. To honor that, each donor will be represented by a puzzle piece created with their name on it. As each piece comes together, it will form a complete picture of the love and support surrounding this journey. Once the puzzle is complete, it will be framed and hung in our baby’s future nursery, a lasting reminder of every person who walked alongside us and helped make this dream possible.
Whether you choose to support us through a donation, a prayer, or by sharing our story, please know how deeply grateful we are. Your kindness brings us closer to the possibility of welcoming a little one into the Mauk family, and your piece will forever be part of our story.

Thank you for believing in us and helping us complete this beautiful puzzle.

With love and gratitude,
The Mauks
