We are Brooke and Emily Thayer and we have both dreamed of being moms for as long as we can remember. We have been talking and preparing for this season since we started dating 3 years ago, and it is taking a longer than we (maybe naively) thought it would to conceive. We are draining our emergency savings to pay for this process and are starting to really feel the financial burden for trying to conceive as a two mom family. The money that we have set aside for our journey to parenthood also included the costs of two unpaid maternity leaves and our birth, so we are hoping to raise enough money to cover the remaining expected costs of fertility treatments. The funds raised by this will help to cover our continued treatment and alleviate some of the financial burden. We are so grateful to have the community that we do and know that all will work out how it’s meant to. If anyone does have the ability to donate any amount or share this— THANK YOU! We cannot wait to be mothers one day and to surround our children with love and laughter and apologies and community. We wouldn’t be here without our friends and families who have poured all of those things into us first 🤍
