Campaign Story

Josh and I met online in July of 2018, and from that very first conversation, we knew something special was happening. We talked for hours that night, covering everything from our biggest dreams to the small, everyday things that make life sweet. We were intentional from the start, and two years later, in the middle of a pandemic, we said “I do” and moved to northern Idaho to start our life together.

We always dreamed of having children, so shortly after marrying, we began trying. We never imagined it would be hard. But after months of hope and heartache, we learned that we face two barriers: my PCOS and male factor infertility. We turned to IVF, our best chance, and our first round was tough. We collected many eggs, but only one made it to an embryo. We transferred that tiny, perfect embryo with so much hope, but it didn’t lead to pregnancy. That loss was devastating.

Even so, we learned so much from that first cycle—about our bodies, about what works, and about how much we still believe in our dream. Now, we’re ready to try again, but the cost is overwhelming. Without help, we’re afraid we may never get to hold our baby in our arms.

That’s why we’re reaching out. We’re hoping to raise funds to cover another round of IVF, so we can use everything we learned and give our family the chance it deserves. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to the life we’ve always envisioned.

Thank you for reading our story, for believing in us, and for helping us turn hope into reality. We can’t wait to share the joy of finally becoming parents.
