Their story

My wonderful daughter, Michelle, is setting out to begin her journey toward becoming a wonderful Mother and to help preserve her Father’s legacy. She is a most wonderful loving and caring person. I can say she will be truly a most wonderful Mother and how loved her child would be. Michelle’s Dad, David, shown in the picture with her when she was about 5 years old and the other picture of Michelle now as a grown up woman, was drafted into the Vietnam war right out of high school into the Air Force. He very much loved his country and went into the Air Force to serve his country. After David came back to the states, we were married in 1972 and Michelle was born in August of 1984. She was very close to her Dad and loved him very much and he loved her very much. When David reached the age of 49 he suffered an agent orange cancer caused by the Vietnam war which was a very rare primary liver cancer with 2 cancers in the liver. The cancer was carcino-sarcoma. One carcinoma cancer and the other a sarcoma cancer a very rare form cancer. When it was found David was already terminal. We did everything possible in the world to save him but we could not. She lost her Dad when she was 12 years old to the agent orange cancer, a very traumatic experience for her and a very devastating loss that could never be replaced in this world. This is a journey of love to help her preserve her Father David’s legacy here on this earth. 
 Michelle has a very low ovarian reserve and she very much needs your kind help right now. The clock is running out on her reserve of eggs. It is almost impossible to achieve saving his legacy without your help…every donation no matter how small will be most helpful and appreciated to achieving this very important goal. David gave his life for his country. She is looking for your kind help to help preserve his legacy here on this earth through the very important goal of helping Michelle freeze her eggs to preserve her fertility and thus her Dad’s legacy. So please try and help she can’t do it without your very important help. It costs $16,000 for each of the cycles to help Michelle freeze her eggs and get enough eggs to preserve her fertility. There may need to be several cycles to reach this very important goal. Her Father, David, has given his life here on this earth to preserve our freedoms here in our country. She would very much love to preserve his legacy to carry on a part of him here on this earth to honor him and all the courageous men who fought in that war.. Michelle is looking for your very important help to help her in this very important journey. Michelle is asking with all her heart for your kind help to reach this very important goal. Her heart is ready to welcome a little child into her life. While this next chapter brings renewed hope, it also comes with significant financial hurdles. All you kind people and Veterans out there please help to pitch in to help donate to Michelle’s freezing of her eggs. The cost of ivf is overwhelming, and she is hoping and reaching out for your loving support. Every loving contribution brings her closer to her hopes and dreams of bringing her little baby home to hold in her arms and preserving her Father’s legacy. With all our hearts, we thank you for being part of our hopeful victory of preserving her Father’s legacy. With your kindness, love, generosity, and encouragement we would be thankful forever, and we very much look forward to bring the joy of this journey of bringing into her life a little baby and share that life of that little one with you. With all our love from our hearts, Michelle and her Mother.
