<div>Hi everyone, my name is Nikole, and I’m 34 years old. I’m a proud mom to two incredible children—my 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter. Both of my pregnancies were miracles, but they were also traumatic, life-altering experiences that came with complications I never could’ve prepared for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My journey to motherhood began with IVF, which we spent a significant amount of money on just to have a chance at growing our family. When my son was born, what should have been one of the happiest moments of my life turned into an emergency. I suffered a retained placenta and hemorrhaged severely. I nearly lost my life. I didn’t get to see my baby boy for the first 24 hours because I was in intensive care fighting to stabilize.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I became pregnant with my daughter, I prayed for a safer delivery. But again, things went wrong. Despite my high-risk history, my doctor made decisions that should have been handled differently and ignored my concerns. I was pushed toward another vaginal delivery, and the same terrifying complications happened again. My daughter was born with a pneumothorax and was rushed to the NICU moments after birth. I didn’t get to hold her either.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I also knew something was wrong with me immediately after delivering her. For two days I begged for someone to listen. When they finally did, a CT scan revealed that my uterus had ruptured. It was a life-threatening emergency, and I was taken into surgery where doctors performed a total hysterectomy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 30 years old, without warning, the ability to safely carry another child was taken from me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love my children deeply, but my heart has always known that my family wasn’t complete. Losing the chance to carry another baby—especially in such a traumatic way—has been incredibly painful. I have grieved something most people never have to think twice about. I wasn’t done. And the decision was never mine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I’m asking for help to make one final dream come true: to have our last baby through surrogacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Surrogacy is a beautiful option, but it is also extremely expensive. Between medical screenings, legal fees, agency costs, IVF procedures, and compensation for a surrogate, the total cost can reach well over $100,000. As a mom who has already been through so much physically, emotionally, and financially, I’m humbly asking for assistance to help make this final chapter of our family possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount—no matter how small—brings us one step closer to holding the baby we have dreamed of. Your support means more than words can express. Even sharing this page helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donating will help us get one step closer in finding that special someone to make our dream come true. Between legal fees, surrogate compensation, medical expenses every dollar gets us one step closer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping us bring our miracle baby into the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Nikole
</div>
