Campaign Story

Hey Everyone,

Yes, you read that correctly—I’m reaching out to ask for money, along with prayers! But before you roll your eyes and think “here we go again,” let me explain why I’m in need of your help (and trust me, I’ve got a little humor to lighten the mood).

I’m Antonía Taylor, a medically retired Army soldier, a crisis counselor working on the 988 suicide line, and someone who has spent most of her life helping others. But today, I’m the one asking for help.

I’ve been on a fertility journey for some time now, and after three unsuccessful IUI attempts (my body certainly knows how to keep things interesting), I’m taking the next step with IVF. With the added challenges of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and endometriosis, it’s been tough. But I’m holding onto faith and trusting that God has a plan for me—and that one day, I’ll be a mother by birth or adoption (whatever God has in store).

Fertility treatments are both emotionally and financially draining, and that’s why I’m reaching out for support. I’m asking for your help to cover the costs of IVF, medications, consultations, and all the essential steps along the way. Any contribution, big or small, will bring me closer to the dream of becoming a mother.

Now, I’m not one to ask for help often (I’m usually the one jumping in to help others), but here I am, humbly requesting your love, support, and prayers. Whether you can donate or simply offer a word of encouragement, it would mean the world to me. Your support gives me strength, hope, and the motivation to keep moving forward.

I also ask for your prayers—not only for healing and peace but for a little patience as I continue this journey. I trust that with God’s guidance and the love of my amazing community, my dream of motherhood will come true. And when it does, I’ll pass on all the “help others” wisdom to that little one while teaching them how to laugh through life’s toughest moments.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support truly means everything. May God bless you abundantly, and if you’re sending prayers and good vibes my way, I promise to send a virtual high five right back!

With love, humor, and endless gratitude,
Antonía Taylor
