Campaign Story

My husband has been the greatest blessing in our life. After my late husband passed away from cancer, he stepped in to help raise our three sons—not out of obligation, but because his heart is just that big. Our family has always been built on love, not biology. That’s why we opened our home even wider, fostering children while stationed in Hawaii.

One of those little ones was a baby girl who came to us at just two days old. We loved her deeply, dreaming of the day we could officially call her our daughter. But due to military relocation laws in Hawaii, we weren’t allowed to adopt her. Letting her go was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of our lives.

Now, we’re hoping to grow our family again—this time through IVF. After a hysterectomy, I was told I shouldn’t have more children, but my ovaries are still healthy, giving us one precious chance. We’ve already lost two babies to miscarriage, and the pain of those losses—and the loss of our foster daughter—has left a space in our hearts that only a child can fill. I want my husband to experience the joy of having a biological child with me, and to finally have a baby we never have to say goodbye to.

The cost of IVF is significant, and we’re humbly asking for your support to make this dream possible. Your contribution will go directly toward treatment, medications, and embryo transfer—every step that brings us closer to holding our baby in our arms.

Thank you for considering being part of our journey. With your help, we can finally give a child the forever family they deserve—and fill the space in our hearts that’s been waiting just for them.
