Help Us Give Tyson the Gift of a Sibling: Our Race Against Time to Grow Our Family ❤️ Some dreams come easily to some families. For us, becoming parents has been a journey spanning decades, filled with trauma, infertility, heartbreak, incredible miracles, and unimaginable loss. My husband and I have been together for over 20 years. We have built a life together, weathered hardships, and held onto one dream for as long as we can remember: having a family. My fertility journey began with something no child should ever have to experience. At just 12 years old, I was sexually assaulted, and I contracted an infection that would later contribute to my fertility struggles. At 20, I experienced an ectopic pregnancy and was diagnosed with a dermoid cyst. Unfortunately, surgery meant losing one of my ovaries. I later learned that I also have diminished ovarian reserve, meaning my remaining egg supply is low. This has made conceiving naturally extremely difficult and has placed a very real time constraint on our ability to grow our family. For 17 years, we struggled with infertility. We endured years of disappointment, uncertainty, and wondering if we would ever get the chance to become parents. Then came our miracle. Through IVF, we welcomed our beautiful son, Tyson. After 17 years of waiting, we finally became parents. He changed our lives in ways we could never put into words. We were also blessed with a beautiful daughter, our precious Nevaeh. Sadly, our little girl passed away at just one week old due to serious medical complications. There is no replacing her, and there never will be. She will always be our daughter, and she will forever be part of our family. Then came 2025, a year that broke our hearts in ways we never imagined. In January, we lost my mother. Just weeks later, we lost our precious daughter. We experienced more grief in one year than we ever thought a family could endure. Through all of this, our dream of growing our family has never disappeared. We want nothing more than to give Tyson a sibling. We want him to experience the lifelong bond of having a brother or sister. We want to fill our home with the laughter, memories, and love that another little life would bring. But time is not on our side. With diminished ovarian reserve and only one remaining ovary, we know that waiting indefinitely is not an option. IVF is our path to having another child, just as it was the path that brought us Tyson. Unfortunately, the financial cost of another IVF journey is more than we can manage on our own. We are opening our hearts and asking for help. It is not easy to share such personal parts of our lives or to ask others for support, but we are holding onto hope. Every donation will help us pay for fertility treatment, medications, procedures, embryo creation, and transfer expenses. Our goal is to give ourselves another chance at the miracle that IVF brought us once before. We are not asking anyone to replace the daughter we lost. Nevaeh is irreplaceable. We are simply a family with so much love left to give. After 17 years of infertility, we know what it feels like to wait for a miracle. We know what it feels like to finally hold one in our arms. And we know the heartbreak of having to say goodbye far too soon. Now, we are hoping for one more chance. If you are able to donate, share our story, or simply keep our family in your thoughts and prayers, we would be forever grateful. Thank you for helping us keep hope alive and for being part of our journey toward giving Tyson the gift of a sibling. With love, gratitude, and hope, Our Family ❤️
