Campaign Story
My wonderful friends, Lacey and Jake, are setting out to begin their journey towards becoming parents.
These two are a couple of the most incredibly loving and caring people I have ever been blessed to know. I can only begin to imagine how loved their child will be.
Jake is a Respiratory Therapist who brings comfort, health, and I’m sure laughter to his patients. Lacey is currently a Program Manager at Donate Life California while following her life’s passion.
With my friend’s permission, I’m here to share a bit about why they are taking the route of IVF.
At only 10 months old, Lacey contracted a life threatening infection in her heart resulting in the need for a heart transplant. At 18 months she was gifted a heart from a little boy who we affectionately call baby James. She became a successful recipient of a heart transplant earning her the nickname “Lucky Lacey”. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times over the course of our friendship that I’ve seen Lacey express her deepest gratitude for baby James.
Life continued to throw curveballs at her as she was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2006. “Lucky Lacey” rang true again when her brother, Tyson, stepped in to donate a kidney to save her life.
Lacey has gone on to dedicate her life’s work towards the facilitation of organ donation. She’s known since childhood that this was her life goal. She has been a representative for One Legacy and Donate Life California for as long as I’ve known her. Her career has come full circle now that she is the Program Manager of the very registry she helped create as a child.
Lacey and Jake were married in 2021 and now that they’ve built a home in a community they love, they are very ready to add a little one to their family. After weighing the pros and cons of a natural pregnancy, based on Lacey’s history, they’ve decided the healthiest option for both Lacey and their baby is surrogacy.
As we all know, the process of IVF is very expensive. They have applied for multiple grants which they did not receive.
As a very small token of my appreciation for all that Lacey and Jake do, as friends and for their community, I wanted to set up a fundraiser for them.
Please join us in returning the ultimate gift to these two incredible people….
THE GIFT OF LIFE!
Thank you all for reading 🙂
