Campaign Story

We’re Cory and Heather Mayer, and we’ve dreamed of growing our family for years. In 2021, we were overjoyed to find out we were expecting—only to lose our baby at 8.5 weeks. That heartbreak was just the beginning of a long and emotional journey. Since then, we’ve faced infertility, two unsuccessful rounds of IUI, and now, after so much waiting and hoping, we’re stepping into our first round of IVF.

This road hasn’t been easy. The grief of loss, the uncertainty of treatments, and the financial strain have weighed on us. IVF is our best chance at bringing home a baby, but the costs are overwhelming—our insurance only covers so much, and we’ve exhausted so much of what we had just getting to this point. We’ve always believed in giving back—whether it’s fostering animals in need, volunteering, or supporting our loved ones—but now, we’re humbly asking for help in return.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to our dream of holding our baby in our arms. We have so much love to give, and with your support, we can finally make our Mayer miracle a reality. Thank you for being part of our story—for believing in us, cheering us on, and helping us take this next brave step toward parenthood. From the bottom of our hearts, we’re so grateful.
