I’ve spent my life showing up for others—as an educator, a caregiver, and someone who pours love into the people around me. Becoming a mother has always been a dream close to my heart, and I’ve been quietly and courageously fighting for that dream through IVF. After three failed embryo transfers, I’ve experienced a kind of heartbreak that’s hard to put into words—holding onto hope each time, only to have it slip away. Still, I am here. Still trying. Still believing. This journey has asked so much of me emotionally, physically, and financially, but I’m not ready to give up. I am fundraising to give myself another chance—to keep going, to keep hoping, and to finally hold the child I’ve dreamed of for so long. Sharing this is not easy, but I believe in the power of community and compassion. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing my story, means more than I can express.
