Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

My husband and I are reaching out with open hearts and hopeful spirits to share a deeply personal journey—and to ask for your help.

Becoming parents has always been a dream of ours. We’ve imagined the little moments: bedtime stories, first steps, and all the love that fills a growing family. Unfortunately, due to a medical condition, I am unable to carry a child myself. While this has been a painful reality to accept, we’ve been given a beautiful opportunity to still build our family—through IVF and the incredible gift of surrogacy.

This journey is filled with hope, but it also comes with significant financial challenges. The costs of IVF and surrogacy are overwhelming, and we would appreciate all the help we can get. That’s why we’re asking, with humility and gratitude, for your support. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to holding our baby in our arms.

Your generosity would not just be helping us start a family—it would be helping to make a lifelong dream come true.

We are hoping to raise $7500 in the end through GoFundMe as this will be put towards the costs of the IVF process. There are many costs that are not covered by the Ontario government; such as medications/hormones for myself and my surrogate, storage fees for the embryos, genetic testing, lawyers fees, counselling fees, and travel.

If you’re not able to give, sharing our story with others who might be able to help means the world to us too.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for being part of our journey—whether through kindness, prayer, or support.

Even $5 would help, no amount is too small <3

With love and hope,

Emily and James
