Their story

Our family is already full of love. We have an amazing little one who has made our lives so much bigger, brighter, and more wonderful than we ever could have imagined. And for a long time, we've dreamed of giving them a sibling and growing our family from three to four. Unfortunately, getting there hasn't been as simple as we hoped. We've been working with our doctor and going through fertility treatment, including medication to help with ovulation and a trigger shot to precisely time ovulation. We've followed the plan, timed everything carefully, and given each cycle our whole hearts. And so far, it hasn't worked. Our doctor has recommended two more medicated cycles. If those aren't successful, the next step will be IUI. We are willing to keep fighting for our family—but fertility treatment is expensive, and some of the next steps aren't covered by our insurance. The financial side of this journey has become a wall that we aren't sure we can climb on our own. That's why we're asking for help. Any money raised will go directly toward fertility treatment and the costs surrounding it, including future IUI treatment, medications, appointments, testing, and other treatment-related expenses. We've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make this work ourselves. Asking for help isn't easy. But we're learning that sometimes growing a family takes a village in more ways than one. We aren't asking for a guarantee or expecting anyone to fix this for us. We're simply asking for a little help getting to the next step.Our family has one more place we'd love to fill. If you choose to donate, thank you. If you aren't able to donate but share our story, send us encouragement, or simply keep us in your thoughts, that means more than you know. Thank you for helping us hope for one more little person to love.
