Campaign Story

Hi! We are Kristy and Josh!

We have been on our journey to grow our family for nearly five years. Through countless fertility treatments, surgeries, embryo transfers and pregnancy losses, we have hit a crossroads. Growing up and throughout adulthood, I never imagined that the most natural process for a woman would prove to be my greatest battle. My body has failed us time and time again and doctors are unable to give us answers or a solution.

We have been blessed with a close friend to have volunteered to give us the best gift of all! She has selflessly offered to be our gestational carrier. This opportunity gives us the best possible chance at growing our family, but it comes with quite the price tag. We are blessed to both have successful careers that we love, but it isn’t enough to cover the full costs associated with the process of having a gestational carrier. The last few years of fertility treatments have taken a toll of us financially, but we have always made it work! We found a way to continue to chase our dream.

We are facing approximately $35,000-$40,000 in costs to complete the process. We have cut our budget and pinched every penny we can, but have to face the reality that we cannot do this alone. We still fall short by nearly $15,000.

We understand that times are tough for so many and donating to our journey may not be right for you, but we ask for all of the prayers and positive thoughts we can get!
