Campaign Story

Hi, we’re the Lance Family. After 13 years of marriage and a long, winding road of hoping and waiting, we’re reaching out with open hearts. Our dream of growing our family has been the quiet, constant thread through all these years, and we believe so deeply that we’re meant to be parents.

Our fertility journey has been filled with more twists and turns than we ever imagined. We poured our hearts into one round of IVF, and after all the shots, appointments, and prayers, we made it all the way to the transfer. We only had one precious embryo, and when it didn’t take, it felt like the floor fell out from under us. The silence after that loss was deafening. We’ve faced the diagnosis, the calendar of failed months, and the weight of wondering if our family will ever be more than just the two of us. Through it all, our love has only grown stronger, but our savings have run dry.

We’re starting this fundraiser with a single, hopeful goal: to raise enough money for one more round of IVF before we turn to adoption. Every dollar will go directly toward the medical costs of that cycle—the medications, the procedures, the lab work—all the pieces we need for a real chance. This is our last shot at this path, and it means everything to us.

Having kids isn’t just important to us; it’s the family we’ve been dreaming of for over a decade. If you can donate, you would be giving us a chance at that dream. If you can’t, sharing our story with just one person could be the spark that connects us to the help we need. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing in our little family that is still waiting to be.
