Campaign Story

We are Melody and Chris Elmore, and for 21 years, we’ve built a life filled with love, faith, and laughter. We’ve been blessed to be an aunt and uncle to so many wonderful children some related and some that just call us Aunt Mel & Uncle Chris as well, these children have brought us so much joy. But deep in our hearts, we’ve always held onto the dream of having a child of our own.

Our journey to parenthood hasn’t been easy. After years of hoping and trying, we learned that not only do we need IVF to conceive, but we also need the help of a surrogate to carry our baby. It’s been an emotional road, filled with both hope and heartache, but our faith and love for each other keep us moving forward, one step at a time.

The financial side of this journey is overwhelming. IVF and surrogacy together come with significant costs—That’s why we’re humbly reaching out to our community for support. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to holding our baby in our arms.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering supporting our dream. With your help, we believe our family’s greatest chapter is just ahead.

Anything raised above our needs will go to other families trying to start a family.

XOXO THE ELMORE’S
