Campaign Story

As anyone has highs and lows we experienced some of our greatest highs and tremendous lows in 2021. We started the year off working in Germany, at a resort which was closed due to the pandemic. Twenty days into the New Year we found out I was pregnant! We had to navigate whether we’d stay in a foreign country or head back to the states. After deciding Germany was where we wanted to have our baby, we moved into a new apartment. Over the summer we learned we were having a baby girl! We had two baby showers one with our friends in Garmisch and a virtual one for our family and friends back home. It was so exciting getting ready to become parents. It all happened so fast, before we knew it I was in the delivery room. I delivered Atlas at 10:41 pm September 23rd, 2021. Post delivery, my uterus was not contracting I was losing a lot of blood. Our team of doctors had to act quickly, I was put under while they did everything they could to save me. Spencer had to care for Atlas alone for the first 3 days, with the uncertainty of if I’d make it back to them. After waking up on Sunday September 26th, I learned I had 3 surgeries. One of which was a hysterectomy. Within those three days our lives changed forever. I became a mother but also lost the ability to have any more children. It would mean the world to us if we could give Atlas a sibling. We are asking for your assistance and support to help grow our family. It would be a blessing to receive any amount of donation.
