Campaign Story

This is really hard to share, but here we are.

Hi, we’re Tiana and Benjamin Shannon. For the past three and a half years, we’ve been trying to have a baby. What we thought would be simple has turned into one of the hardest, most emotional journeys of our lives.

We’ve done all the tests. Everything says “normal.” And yet, month after month, nothing changes. No answers, no explanation, just a lot of waiting and a lot of heartbreak.

We went through three rounds of IUI, and each time we let ourselves believe this could be it. Each time, it wasn’t. It’s hard to put into words what that kind of disappointment feels like, especially when you’re trying so hard to stay hopeful.

We’ve poured so much of ourselves, emotionally, physically, and financially, into trying to grow our family. We’ve saved so much on our own, and we’re really proud of that. But now we’re at the point where IVF is our next step, and it’s more than we can do alone.

So we’re asking for help. We’re hoping to raise enough to give us a real chance at becoming parents.

If you’ve ever supported us, prayed for us, shared kind words, or even just thought of us along the way, thank you. It means more than we can say. And if you’re able to donate or share this, you’re helping us hold onto something we’ve been fighting for for a long time.

We want this so badly. And we’re not ready to give up.

Thank you for being here with us 🤍
Tiana & Benjamin
