Campaign Story

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

My name is Hollyn, and my husband is Noah. We are incredibly grateful for your support, prayers, and encouragement as we share our infertility journey.

Noah and I have been trying to grow our family for more than three years. Like many couples facing infertility, our journey has been filled with unanswered questions, setbacks, and unexpected challenges.

I first sought medical help after about six months of trying to conceive, but all of my testing came back normal. I sought answers again around the one year mark, only to hear the same thing. Finally, two years into our journey, a new doctor told me she was 99% certain I had endometriosis. Surgery later confirmed that diagnosis, and I underwent a procedure to remove the endometriosis that had been affecting my fertility.

Just one month after surgery, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid and causes it to underproduce the hormones needed for the body to function properly.

Thankfully, with daily medication and regular monitoring my thyroid levels are now under control. However, despite treatment and other fertility interventions, we have still not been able to conceive.

After more than three years of trying, praying, hoping, and waiting, we have made the decision to pursue IVF.

While the process feels overwhelming at times, we are incredibly hopeful. More than anything, we are excited about the possibility of finally holding our baby in our arms.

The emotional toll of infertility is difficult to put into words. There have been moments of heartbreak, disappointment, grief, and loneliness. Alongside the emotional burden, the financial costs have continued to grow through doctor visits, surgeries, testing, medications, and fertility treatments.

We have always planned to do whatever we can to pursue our dream of becoming parents, regardless of the cost. However, many friends and family members have asked how they can support us and whether there is a way to help financially. After much prayer and consideration, we decided to create this fund.

The estimated cost of our IVF treatment is approximately $34,000. While our goal is $20,000, we do not expect or assume that others will cover the full cost of our treatment. We will continue doing everything we can to fund this journey ourselves. Our goal simply represents a portion of the financial burden and an opportunity for those who have asked how they can help to be a part of our story.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward IVF related expenses, including medications, procedures, monitoring appointments, laboratory fees, embryo transfer costs, and other medical expenses associated with treatment.

Most importantly, we ask for your prayers.

Throughout these past three years, we have wrestled deeply with God. There were times I was angry. Times I questioned why this was our story. I never wanted infertility to become part of our testimony, and I certainly never wanted to be seen as “strong” because of it.

The truth is, we haven’t always been strong.

There have been tears, frustration, disappointment, and countless moments where we simply didn’t understand. We’ve cried, we’ve yelled, we’ve questioned, and we’ve waited.

But we’ve also prayed.

Our prayers weren’t always answered immediately, and some still haven’t been answered the way we hoped. Yet through every season, God has carried us. When we couldn’t stand on our own, He provided family, friends, and loved ones who lifted us up, listened to our struggles, and prayed alongside us.

If there is one thing this journey has taught us, it’s that we were never meant to walk through it alone.

For years, we have dreamed about the little moments of parenthood the bedtime stories, family traditions, holidays gathered around the table, and watching a child grow into the person God created them to be. We have dreamed about sharing our faith, our love, and our lives with a child of our own. While infertility has changed our path to parenthood, it has never changed our desire to become parents. Through every setback, that dream has remained just as strong, and it is what gives us the courage and hope to keep moving forward.

Whether you choose to donate, pray, share our story, or simply take the time to read this page, please know how deeply grateful we are.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us take one more step toward the family we have been praying for.

With love,

Hollyn & Noah
