Campaign Story

Hi, we’re Christina and Austin. For the past seven years, we’ve held onto a dream that feels both incredibly close and heartbreakingly far away: becoming parents. We’ve pictured tiny hands, bedtime stories, and the beautiful chaos of family life—and we’re ready to pour all our love into a child of our own.

Our journey has been filled with more challenges than we ever imagined. We’ve navigated medicated cycles, weathered the heartbreak of a miscarriage, and stood together through Austin’s courageous battle with CML. Through it all, we’ve held onto hope, even when our diagnosis was labeled “unexplained.” Next step in the journey is IVF—and we’re praying this path leads us to our miracle.

Every puzzle starts with a single piece—this one starts with you. We’re raising funds for IVF, and each donated puzzle piece brings us one step closer to growing our family. Sponsor a piece or more, and we will write your name on it, and become part of our story forever. Once the puzzle is complete we will frame it in a double sided frame and it will forever be a piece in our home. $10 per piece.
