For a long time, my husband Richard and I have been quietly hoping, praying, and trying to figure out how to make IVF treatments possible. Like so many others, the cost has always been the biggest hurdle'something that kept our plans and dreams on pause, even when our hearts were ready. After a lot of thought, courage, and vulnerability, we've decided to share our story and ask for support. We are looking for our village'because we truly believe it takes one. Whether that support comes in the form of prayers, kind words, sharing our journey, or giving, every piece of encouragement means more than we can say. Thank you for being here, for reading, and for holding space for our hope. This journey is one we can't walk alone, and we're so grateful for every step taken alongside us ?
