Help Jeff and Esther Grow Their Family

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

We want to begin by sharing that Jeff and Esther never intended to ask for financial support. Esther is the daughter of Rev. Tim Pruitt. Jeff and Esther have been married for over 20 years and have not been able to have a baby. Many of you have reached out, asking if there was a way to support them, and in response to this outpouring of kindness, we have set up a donation page to assist with their medical expenses.

For those familiar with the challenges of infertility, you understand both the emotional toll and the significant financial burden it brings. Unfortunately, most insurance providers do not classify fertility treatments as "medically necessary," leaving families to bear the overwhelming costs on their own. Jeff and Esther have undergone eight rounds of IUI, with one resulting in pregnancy—only to face the heartbreak of a miscarriage at 10 weeks.
Now, as they take the next step in their journey through IVF, they are facing costs of approximately $15,000+, covering medications, ultrasounds, bloodwork, procedures, lab fees, facility fees, embryo testing, and the embryo transfer.

If you are unable to contribute financially, we simply ask that you keep this wonderful couple in your thoughts and prayers. Your love, encouragement, and support mean the world to them. Any donation, no matter the amount, would be deeply appreciated as they continue this path toward growing their family.

With gratitude,
The Pruitt, Oglesby and Dexter families
