Campaign Story

We are Jacie and Christian, and we’ve dreamed of holding our baby in our arms for as long as we can remember. In the fall of 2020, we began our journey to grow our family—full of hope, excitement, and the belief that it would happen naturally. But life had other plans.

After years of heartbreaking setbacks, countless doctor visits, and more tears than we ever imagined, we received the news that IVF is our only path to parenthood. It wasn’t the answer we wanted, but it’s the one that gives us hope. Now, after so much waiting, we finally have the chance to move forward. The only problem? Our insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatments, which means every step—medications, procedures, lab work—comes entirely out of pocket. The cost is overwhelming, but our dream of becoming parents is worth every sacrifice.

We’re humbly asking for your support to help make this possible. Any contribution, big or small, brings us closer to holding our baby in our arms. We believe in the power of community, and we’re so grateful for every person who stands with us on this journey.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our family. With your help, we’re one step closer to welcoming Baby Stephenson home.
