Campaign Story
Hi, we’re a military family who dreams of holding our baby in our arms. After years of hoping, we’re asking for your help to make that dream a reality.
Our journey to become parents began in 2024, filled with hope. But in 2025, we received difficult news: a diagnosis of Diminished Ovarian Reserve and unexplained infertility. We bravely pursued IVF, only to face two cancelled cycles and one failed transfer. It felt like we were running out of road. Seeking answers, we got a second opinion, and this March, I underwent surgery that revealed Stage IV Endometriosis. The disease had woven through my pelvis, binding my uterus, ovaries, and bowel together-what my surgeon called a “frozen pelvis.” She carefully removed the endometriosis, even taking my appendix, which was covered. She also told us conceiving naturally would be very difficult.
Through it all, we held onto hope. We’ve now found a compassionate specialist who truly listens and is crafting a personalized IVF plan just for us. But this new path comes with steep challenges. The clinic is five hours from our home, and after already spending over $28,000 on previous IVF cycles during a military relocation, our savings are stretched thin. We now face the costs of repeated travel, hotels, pet care, and the new IVF treatment itself.
We are humbly asking for your support to help cover these expenses. Every donation will go directly toward travel, lodging, and the medical costs of this personalized IVF cycle. With the endometriosis cleared and a doctor who believes in us, we finally feel a real chance is within reach.
Thank you for considering being a part of our story. With your help, we can focus on what matters most: building our family. We are so hopeful for the future and deeply grateful for your kindness.
