Writing this is incredibly vulnerable, but it comes from a place of deep hope. Sometimes the dream of a family takes more than courage—it takes a village.

Our journey to grow our family has held both gratitude and heartbreak. After facing 6 years of unexplained infertility, we bravely stepped into IVF. While our first round brought more loss and heartache it also gave us clarity, strength, and the courage to keep fighting for our baby.

We are now preparing for a second round of IVF—filled with renewed hope, but also significant financial strain. IVF is emotionally and physically demanding, and the cost is not covered by insurance. The funds raised will go directly toward treatment, medications, procedures, and required monitoring.

This journey has shown us the power of prayer, community, and support. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to the baby we so deeply hope for. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page or keeping us in your prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for believing in us and helping turn hope into possibility.

With love and gratitude,

Jacob & Anika
