Campaign Story

John and I have been married for 12 beautiful years, and from the moment we said “I do,” we dreamed of filling our home with the laughter of children. But our journey to parenthood hasn’t been easy. Since John returned from deployment in 2012, we’ve faced the heartbreak of infertility at every duty station, every new home, every hopeful try. Though John has a daughter from his previous marriage, we’ve always longed for a child of our own—a little one to hold, to love, to watch grow.

For years, we poured everything into caring for Kalianee, making sure she could travel between us and her biological mother. Then, in 2021, we were blessed with the miracle of gaining majority custody of her. She is our joy, and John is an incredible father to her, though he missed so much of her early years. Still, my arms ache for a baby of my own—to experience motherhood from the very first breath, to share that bond with John in a way we’ve only dreamed of.

IVF is our best chance, but the cost has always felt impossible. Every quote we’ve gotten leaves us reeling—how could we ever afford it on our own? We’re humbly asking for your help to fund one round of IVF, one real shot at the family we’ve prayed for. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to that dream.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us in this hope. With your support, maybe—just maybe—our miracle is finally within reach.
