Campaign Story

Dear friends and kind-hearted souls,
We’re opening our hearts to you today as we begin one of the most meaningful journeys of our lives — the journey to grow our family through IVF.
My wife Brittany and I have been married for 18 beautiful months. I’m blessed with four amazing daughters from my previous marriage, and Brittany has embraced them with a love so deep and unwavering that it’s hard to put into words. She is a phenomenal mother — nurturing, patient, and full of joy. But there’s a quiet ache in her heart: the dream of holding her own baby, hearing their laughter, watching them grow, and pouring all the love she has into their little life.

Our daughters share that dream with us. They talk about it often — imagining a baby sibling to cuddle, protect, and love. It’s a dream that fills our home with hope.

After facing the heartbreak of infertility, our doctor has told us that IVF is now our only path forward. It’s a path filled with emotional highs and lows, and one that comes with a heavy financial burden. The cost of consultations, medications, procedures, and follow-ups can exceed $20,000 — and sadly, our insurance only covers the initial consultation. Our clinic offers one attempt for around $14,000, and up to three attempts for about $25,000.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward:
Fertility medications
Egg retrieval and embryo transfer
Lab and clinic fees
Follow-up appointments and monitoring

We know asking for help isn’t easy — and truthfully, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But this dream means everything to us. We’re reaching out not just for financial support, but for love, encouragement, and prayers. Whether you donate, share our story, or simply hold us in your thoughts, you’re helping us take one step closer to the miracle we’ve been longing for. We promise to keep you updated every step of the way. And if we’re blessed with a little one, they’ll grow up knowing that their life began with the kindness of so many — that they were brought into the world by a community of love.
Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for helping us build the family we’ve been dreaming of.

With all our love and deepest gratitude,
The Wellendorfs
