As many of y’all know, the past 3 years, Erik and I have been trying to conceive. It’s been quite the process and has had ups and downs, hope and heartbreak. We’ve undergone multiple rounds of IUI, each time hoping that it might be the moment our prayers were answered. But so far, our arms are still empty even though our hearts are so full of love to give. Through it all, we’ve leaned heavily on God and his love for us. We truly believe that God’s timing is perfect, even when it’s hard to understand and really really sucks. We know we’re not alone and we’ve felt His presence guiding us through every doctor’s appointment, every tearful night, and every new round of treatment. Now, we’re stepping forward in faith once again and moving toward IVF our next and best chance to welcome a child into our lives. IVF offers hope, but it also comes with a significant financial burden that insurance won’t cover. That’s why we’re humbly asking for your help.

Whether it’s a financial gift, a prayer, or simply sharing our story, your support means more to us than we can put into words. Every dollar raised will go directly toward IVF treatments, medications, and the care needed to give us the chance to finally grow our family. We know this is a deeply personal journey, but it’s also one that has taught us the beauty of community, generosity, and unwavering faith. Thank you for walking this path with us and for helping turn our dream into reality. I will also fervently be baking cookies or anything I can to show our gratitude to anyone who donates <3
