Campaign Story

Hi, we’re Ashley and Paul. We’ve dreamed of growing our family since we said “I do” in July of 2022. As active-duty military, we’re used to facing challenges head-on, but this journey to parenthood has been one of the hardest missions we’ve ever undertaken.

After Paul’s vasectomy reversal—which we were told was successful—we hoped we’d be sharing happy news quickly. But month after month, we’ve faced the quiet disappointment of another negative test. We’ve watched our savings dwindle paying for consultations and procedures out-of-pocket, because our military insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatments. Now, with time moving forward and our hopes feeling more urgent, we’ve made the difficult decision to pursue IVF. It’s our best chance, but it comes with a cost we simply can’t shoulder alone.

We’re humbly asking for your support to help us cover the upcoming IVF expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to holding our baby in our arms. If you’re able to give, you’re not just helping with a medical procedure—you’re helping build our family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering our story. With your help, we believe our dream of becoming parents can finally become a reality.

    Never Ending "Little" Procedures

    Next week we will shell out another $1,620 for a *minor* procedure and that is just to the doctor. That does not include hospital expenses, anesthesia, medications, or labs.

    I used to smirk when people would post about how “when your in your 40’s you will be wiping butts and when I am in my 40’s I’ll be on a cruise”. Now? Trust me, a cruise has nothing on the dream of having children with your spouse. May I never vacation again if that is the case.
