I am deep in student loan debt and, despite working full time, dog sitting, and picking up hourly event gigs, it's not enough to pay it off. I'm getting married next year, which will also be a financial burden, and my fiancé has a genetic condition requiring us to do IVF to eliminate the gene. It's a stressful time with a lot of financial hardship.

The funds will go directly toward my student loan debts and IVF costs, helping us start our family and ease the financial pressure. If you're reading this, thank you. Even taking the time to visit this page means more than you know. Like so many people, I've found myself carrying the weight of student loans while also facing the unexpected financial reality of IVF. One represents a dream I worked hard to achieve, and the other represents the dream my fiancé and I are still hoping to realize: growing our family. Asking for help doesn't come naturally to me, but I've learned that sometimes the strongest thing we can do is allow others to be part of our journey. If you're able to contribute—or simply share this page—you are helping lift a burden that often feels overwhelming. Your generosity doesn't just help pay bills. It creates hope. It brings us one step closer to starting the family we've dreamed about while easing the financial pressure that has accompanied this chapter of our lives. Thank you for your kindness, your encouragement, and your support. We are incredibly grateful for every donation, every share, and every message of love. They remind us that we don't have to navigate this journey alone.
