Campaign Story
For nine years, Jeremy and I have built a life full of love, laughter, and dreams of the family we’ve always wanted. But for six of those years, we’ve carried a quiet ache. The kind of ache that comes from empty nurseries, negative tests, and the relentless hope that maybe, just maybe, this time will be different.
At 26, I nearly lost my life to an emergency surgery that came with a heartbreaking warning: motherhood might not be in my future. I’ve fought through four more surgeries since then, clinging to the hope that my body could still create life. We’ve endured tests, treatments, and the crushing weight of “unexplained infertility,” a diagnosis that feels like a question with no answer. We’ve watched friends and families celebrate pregnancies while we’ve grieved the babies we can’t seem to conceive.
Now, at 43, time is slipping through our fingers. Our doctor has told us IVF is our last chance, but the cost is staggering. A single round can cost upwards of $20,000, and with no guarantees, the financial burden feels impossible. We’ve poured our savings into this dream, but we can’t do it alone.
That’s why we’re asking for your help. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to the miracle we’ve prayed for. If you’ve ever rooted for an underdog, cheered for a love story, or believed in the power of hope, this is your chance to be part of ours.
We still believe in miracles. With your support, we might finally hold ours in our arms. Thank you for helping us write the happy ending we’ve waited so long to see.
