Campaign Story

Hi, I’m Onjalique—a pediatric speech-language pathologist, small business owner, and proud partner to Kavian. Together, we’ve built a life centered on love, family, and service to others. We’ve supported children and families for years in our professional lives, and we’ve long dreamed of becoming parents ourselves.

Last May, we experienced the devastating loss of our first baby. I suffered a uterine rupture and, as a result, I can no longer safely carry a pregnancy. That heartbreak changed us forever, but it also strengthened our commitment to building our family through surrogacy.

We’ve moved forward with IVF and created strong embryos ready for the next step of surrogacy – bringing us  closer to our dream to start our family. We’ve invested emotionally, physically, and financially in this journey—but as many know, surrogacy is an incredibly expensive path, often costing well over six figures. That’s why we’re reaching out for support.

This fundraiser is not just about growing our family—it’s about healing, hope, and honoring the baby we lost. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring us closer to holding our future babies in our arms. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us, believing in us, and being a part of our story.
