Their story

My name is Columbine and at 46, I’ve carried a dream in my heart for as long as I can remember—the dream of becoming a mother. Though life had other plans for me early on, six years ago I was blessed beyond measure when I adopted two incredible children who have filled my world with more love and joy than I ever thought possible. During the adoption process, I met the love of my life, and together we built the family I had always hoped for. But our story isn’t over yet. Every night, without fail, my children wrap their little hands together and ask for one thing: a baby brother or sister. Their innocent prayers have reawakened that longing in me—to experience pregnancy, to bring a new life into our family, and to give my children the sibling they so dearly wish for. After years of struggling with infertility, we’ve been given a new sense of hope through IVF. But the financial burden is overwhelming, and we can’t do it alone. We’re humbly asking for your support to help cover the costs of treatment, medications, and procedures—every contribution brings us one step closer to growing our family and answering our children’s prayers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering being a part of our journey. With your help, we can turn hope into reality and welcome a new little one into our loving home.

A Lifelong Dream

For 47 years, I have held a dream in my heart that has never wavered: to become a mother and share the gift of life. This journey has been my lifelong focus, and while the path has been long and filled with challenges, my commitment to building a family remains stronger than ever. ​I am reaching out to share my story because, as I work toward this goal, the financial requirements of fertility treatments present a significant hurdle. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports my dream of bringing a child into my life and provides the resources necessary to navigate this medical journey. ​By supporting my fundraiser, you are doing more than just donating; you are standing with me as I pursue a dream I have held for a lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, and for any support you feel moved to provide to help make this dream a reality.
