Thank you for viewing our campaign. My name is Ann, and my husband's name is Patrick.. I am a registered nurse, and Patrick works in construction. We live on a small farm in the mountains of Virginia. We will be married one year in August and have been together almost three years. We are reaching out for help to finance a gestational surrogacy journey. Before we met, Patrick became the father to a beautiful little boy who then tragically passed away unexpectedly at the age of 18 months in 2017. I have two boys through my previous marriage, who are 16 and 13. We are unable to have a child together because I had an ablation procedure in 2013 due to extremely heavy bleeding, and it is not advised for me to carry a pregnancy afterward due to extreme danger to my health and the child's health/life. We would love to have a child together and to allow Patrick the gift of being a father again.
