Campaign Story

My name is Stephany and I lost a baby many years ago, I was so excited when the stick said pregnant but I didn’t know how quickly the happiness would end. I went to the hospital the day after I found out I was pregnant because I was spotting and before I knew it the doctor flew in the room and said he had to take me into surgery immediately, I tried to ask how my baby was and what was wrong, he told me he was sorry and that it didn’t make it and they are going to take me into surgery. I was beyond shocked and just confused, because I had no idea what was happening and by the time I woke up with excruciating pain in my stomach the doctor came in and explained to me they had to remove my left tube and said that he also noticed damage to my right tube as well so it would be next to impossible to get pregnant. I tried to keep it together but the doctor had no idea exactly what he took from me that day, he took my baby, my tube and the hope that I would ever be able to have one on my own ever again. I was absolutely devastated. I always dreamed I would have about 5 kids or the very least 3, I always dreamed that I would be surrounded by my babies and have a house filled with laughter, love and warmth and I always thought that I would be that parent that would adopt all my kids friends if their friends were going through a hard time at their home and let them know that they would always have a safe place to come and would never be turned away, they would always have a place to sleep and a hot meal in their bellies and that I would always be their sanctuary from any storm, that I would make these huge dinners because I love cooking and we would all sit around this big dining room table and say grace before we eat and be thankful for how lucky we were to be a family and then play board games after dinner, yes I always dreamed of a very big family but I know that’s not exactly possible for me so I would be beyond grateful to have at least one child that me and my husband could smother with love and make us a family, make us whole, to have a little piece of both of us running around calling us mommy and daddy. I would give anything to have that chance. So if you feel you can help in any way, I would be forever grateful and thankful to you. Thank you for reading and may there always be a light to guide your way in darkness and that all your dreams come true.
