Our Story: A Journey of Hope, Faith, and Love

Hi, we’re Ian and Jen Santos, a couple united by love, faith, and an unwavering dream of parenthood. In 2016, just one month after exchanging vows, our lives took an unexpected turn when Jen was diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis. Doctors explained that pregnancy could alleviate her symptoms, but the very condition complicating conception also made time our greatest adversary.

Endometriosis has brought chronic pain, surgeries, and moments of despair. Yet, as a minister serving our community, I’ve witnessed miracles—and we hold onto hope that ours is near.

After years of failed treatments, IVF offers our best chance. But as the sole provider for our family, the financial burden—$25,000—is hard for us to achieve.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to holding our miracle baby. We’ll share updates every step of the way—joyful milestones, challenges, and eventually, the moment we meet our child. Your support isn’t just financial; it’s a lifeline of hope.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8) Together, we can turn prayer into possibility.
