Help Matthew & Meredith Start Their Family

Matthew and Meredith are pursuing surrogacy to have their first and only baby, and could use your help!

Matthew is a talented and beloved pastry chef, known for his generosity and warm presence in the community. Meredith, whose life was once dedicated to the medical field, is now living with permanent disability due to a failing autonomic nervous system, which causes a heart condition, stomach paralysis, and other complications. Her medical challenges have made everyday life difficult, and after careful consultation with doctors, it has been determined that pregnancy would be too dangerous for her health.

Despite these challenges, their love and determination to start a family remains strong. With medical professionals’ guidance, Meredith and Matthew are now hoping to welcome a child through IVF and surrogacy — a safe and medically supported path to parenthood for them.

Unfortunately, the cost of IVF and surrogacy is significant — and completely uncovered by insurance. $20,000 will cover critical inital expenses such as egg extraction, embryo creation, and embryo transfer.

Your support will mean everything. It’s not just a donation — it’s a gift of hope, of family, and of love.

Please consider donating, sharing their story, and helping this lovely couple take the next step toward becoming parents. Every dollar helps — and every act of kindness brings them closer to holding their baby in their arms.

With love and gratitude,

Matt & Mere
