Campaign Story

Hello, and thank you for taking time to consider helping us start our family. We’re Parker and Sienna, and we have built a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure, as well as a cozy home with our goofy dog and crazy cat (best frenemies). We met during a period of losing multiple family members, but found love that carried us through dark times and grew into something more than either of us. We were excited to grow our new family as well, but the need to care for extended family, the instability of two new careers, and military orders far from home forced us to wait.

Even after we began, our journey has been longer and more heartbreaking than we imagined. After six years of trying, and enduring the grief of multiple miscarriages, the evidence is sadly clear that traditional pregnancy is not possible for us. But our hope didn’t die; the dream of having our own child just had to change shape. For us, having a child is a deep, unwavering calling, and we’ve chosen to pursue gestational surrogacy with a donor egg to make it possible.

The path forward is clear, but the financial reality is staggering. The full cost for egg donation, IVF, and surrogacy here in the U.S. approaches a quarter of a million dollars, while overseas options bear other risks. While we both have stable careers and know we can provide a wonderful life for a child, saving this amount in the short term feels overwhelming. We’re humbly asking for your help to cover these immense costs. Your contribution means we can focus on preparing our future child—emotionally, physically, and mentally—for a joyful, healthy, and meaningful life, instead of being saddled with debt during those precious first years.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering supporting our family. With your help, we can turn this chapter of struggle into a story of hope and welcome the child we’ve been waiting for.
