Our names are Patrick and Liz. We have been married for almost 3 years and together for 6 years. Liz is a school teacher and a volleyball coach, while Patrick spends his time working with a high school and club Weightlifting team. We have both spent our lives mentoring, coaching and teaching kids, and we are now hoping for the opportunity to start our own team! Over the past 2 years, we have been struggling with an endometriosis diagnosis that has put Liz in the hospital 3 times for surgeries to remove the scar tissue and cysts caused by the endometriosis. This journey to parenthood has been long and difficult as we've battled endometriosis and the infertility it has caused. Liz has taken a leave of absence from her classroom to help with the stress of countless doctor's appointments and follow-up procedures as we travel down this road. With your help and support, we can start our own family and get the team we've always wanted. Every little bit helps as it truly does take a village (even from the beginning!). If you can't donate, please pray for us and our journey. We know it will all be worth it in the end. **From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support. --Patrick and Liz**
