Campaign Story

Our family is built on love, resilience, and a beautiful, fierce hope. We are blessed with two incredible children who light up our world. But our hearts hold a special dream: to complete our family with a third baby, a little brother or sister for our kids.

Our journey to grow our family looks different this time. After our first daughter’s cancer diagnosis and our second born’s Down Syndrome diagnosis, the path of a natural pregnancy feels filled with too much uncertainty and fear for the health of a future baby. My own body has also been through so much. My first pregnancy brought gestational diabetes, severe complications, and an emergency C-section. With our second, I experienced a life-threatening hemorrhage during delivery. The risks to both me and a potential baby are simply too great to ignore.

Our deepest wish is to give our children the gift of a sibling—a teammate for life, a built-in support system. To make this dream a reality safely, we have chosen to pursue IVF with genetic testing (PGT). This path gives us the best chance to welcome a healthy baby while protecting my health. But this hope comes with a significant financial hurdle we cannot meet alone. The cost of IVF is overwhelming, and we are humbly asking for your support to help cover the medical procedures, medications, and testing.

By contributing to our fundraiser, you are investing directly in our dream of a complete family. You are helping to give our children a lifelong friend and to bring a new, healthy life into our loving home. Any amount you can give brings us one step closer to holding our third baby in our arms.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering being a part of our story. Your support means more than words can express.
