Campaign Story

Hello, we’re Yolanda and Manuel. For years, we’ve held a quiet dream in our hearts: to become parents. We always imagined the day we’d welcome a child into our family, filling our home with laughter and love. But our journey to get here has been filled with unexpected challenges.

After trying to conceive naturally, we received difficult news at the start of 2025. Our doctor sat down with us and explained that due to my hormone levels not matching what my body was showing, we would need the help of an egg donor and a specialist to have the best chance at building our family. It was a moment that changed everything. We’ve already walked a long road, trying IVF and multiple rounds of IUI. Each attempt was filled with so much hope, and each setback brought its own heartache. While those paths didn’t lead us to our baby, they strengthened our resolve. We now believe with all our hearts that using an egg donor is our next, most hopeful step forward.

This new path, while filled with promise, comes with significant financial hurdles. The costs for an egg donor cycle, including medical procedures, legal fees, and agency costs, are substantial. This is why we are humbly reaching out to our community. Any contribution you can make will go directly toward these expenses, bringing us immeasurably closer to holding our baby in our arms.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support, whether through a donation or simply sharing our fundraiser, means more than we can say. With your help, we can turn our dream of parenthood into a beautiful reality.
