Dear family, friends, and beautiful hearts, For 16 years, my husband and I have walked side by side, building a life rooted in love, deep laughter, and shared dreams. We have been blessed with a beautiful partnership, and as we approach our 6th wedding anniversary, we look at the life we've built and know exactly what is missing. Our deep, undeniable calling is to become fathers. To hold a child of our own, to comfort them, to guide them, and to pour all the love we have into raising them has been our quietest prayer and greatest wish for as long as we can remember. We have so much love to give, and our hearts are completely ready to take this next step. But the path to building our family looks a bit different, and it is a long, expensive road. Why We Need Your Help The greatest hurdle standing between us and our future child is the overwhelming, life-altering cost of surrogacy. To bring our baby into the world, we must navigate an incredibly complex and expensive process, including: • The medical miracle: IVF treatments, embryo creation, and securing an egg donor. • The legal protection: Attorney fees to navigate complex laws and protect our future family. • Our surrogate: Agency fees and deeply supporting the incredible woman who will carry our child. It is deeply humbling—and scary—to put our hearts on our sleeves and ask for financial help. We always imagined we would handle life’s milestones on our own, but the reality is that we simply cannot do this without a village. How You Can Be Part of Our Story We are starting this fundraiser today because the journey takes a long time, and we want to begin as soon as possible. We are asking you to be the foundation of our child's village: • If you can donate: No amount is too small. Every single dollar is a building block toward a crib, a stroller, and a baby in our arms. • If you can share: Simply sending our link to your friends, family, or community groups gives our dream a wider reach. When we look back on this time years from now, reading bedtime stories to our child, we will tell them about the incredible community of people who loved them before they were even born. Thank you from the bottom of our deeply grateful and hopeful hearts for your kindness, your generosity, and for helping us become the dads we are meant to be. With all our love and endless gratitude, The Logsdon Family
