Campaign Story

Hi there! My name is Madisen and my husband is Justin, this is our story. We have been together for 4 years now and soon to be married for 1. We are a strong couple, work hard and will do for anyone. We tend to be the ones to take the burdens of others and make them better. We are always trying to better ourselves and our relationship. We are also are that couple that a lot of bad things tend to happen to, with no explanation as to why. We have been through a lot together and every battle has only made us stronger. We love each other endlessly, we are each other’s safe place. We love to be with friends, family and travel. We LOVE kids, everyone’s kids, we are the weirdos at the restaurant making faces at a random baby just to see them smile. We have always wanted to be parents and grow our family, unfortunately God has had other plans. From the time I was a little girl I have always wanted to be a mama. I was the kid who played baby dolls until I was 11, (I know a little too old). If you ask anyone who knows me, they will always tell you that I want to be a mom more than anything in the world. They’ll probably tell you, that they know I’ll be a great one too! I never in my life thought I would struggle with infertility or loss like we have, it hurts, a lot. You see your friends and family having babies unexpectedly and wonder why not me? Or when will it happen for me? Will we ever get to become a family? We have two dogs that are currently our children. I love them with everything in me and they fill the void majority of the time but I want to know what it’s like to feel my baby inside me. I want to know the characteristics and resembles that they will obtain of their father and myself. I want to go through the moments of my husband kissing my belly and talking to our baby as he or she grows strong and healthy. I don’t want to go through anymore heartbreaks of negative pregnancy tests or failed rounds of ovulation cycles. I really couldn’t stand the thought of having another miscarriage. We have had two now. It is something that I never wish on my worst enemy. The excitement of finally getting to be a mom and dad, then suddenly it’s ripped away from you. You go from being so happy to miserable, lost and hurt. I am ready for our rainbow baby. I am ready to be a mama. As much pride as we both have and never turn to anyone for help, we need yours please. Our insurance will not cover any fertility treatments or testing. The amount of money the clinic is wanting upfront to start IVF, we just don’t have. Everyone says it’ll happen when it’s supposed to happen but anyone facing the same struggle knows that’s not truly the case. I am battling PCOS and my husband struggles with low testosterone, together it makes our infertility journey really hard. We are hoping and praying that our rainbow baby makes it here on earth one day. Any amount helps and we are forever grateful for your generosity. If praying is your thing, please keep us in your prayers as the infertility journey gets tough at times. Also, accepting any other forms of good luck or hope.

We thank and love you!
Justin & Madisen
