Campaign Story
**Our Journey to Parenthood: A Little Help to Grow Our Family**
Hi, I’m Nichole, and my husband James and I have dreamed of becoming parents for as long as we can remember. But our path to growing our family hasn’t been easy. When I was diagnosed with PCOS at 20, we knew we might face challenges—but we never imagined just how hard this road would be.
For years, we’ve fought for this dream. After two D&Cs, countless medications, and four rounds of medicated fertility treatments, we were heartbroken when nothing worked. Then, we learned James also struggles with male infertility. His recent tests showed low sperm count and motility, and despite months of hormone therapy, there’s been no improvement. Now, IVF is our best—and only—chance to have the baby we’ve prayed for.
But IVF comes with a steep price tag, one we can’t shoulder alone. Between medical bills, medications, and procedures, the costs feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re humbly asking for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to holding our baby in our arms.
Our home is already full of love—with four Shih Tzus, an orange cat, and a family who can’t wait to welcome a little one. My dad, who was recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, dreams of meeting his first grandchild while he still can. James’ parents, who adopted him as an infant, have shown us the power of unconditional love, and we long to give them another grandchild to cherish.
We believe in miracles, and we believe in the kindness of others. If you’re able, please consider helping us make this dream a reality. Your generosity means more than words can say—it’s the hope we’re holding onto.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story. Together, we can bring our baby home.
