Sarah and Hayden, my brother and sister-in-law, have always dreamed of starting a family. Their journey has been filled with both hope and heartbreak. After 1 miscarriage and 2 ectopic pregnancies, Sarah lost her tubes, making IVF their only path forward. While adoption has been a big part of Sarah’s family and is not out of the cards, their deepest desire is to have a child of their own. Despite these challenges, they continue to lead youth ministry at their church, offering guidance and support to others. Sarah also works as a paraprofessional for special education students, showing her dedication to helping those in need every day.

The emotional and mental toll of their journey has been immense, but they remain faithful and trust in the Lord’s plan. Recently, their vehicle broke down, forcing them to redirect their finances toward a new car. Even with these setbacks, Sarah and Hayden have already met with an IVF doctor and are ready to move forward, but the financial burden is overwhelming.

Donations to this fundraiser will go directly toward IVF treatments and travel expenses, helping to ease the extra load that finances bring. We are just asking for friends, family, anyone who’s had similar experiences, brothers and sisters of the Lord—if you feel led to give to help make this small family a bigger one, it would mean more than they could ever express. Thank you for your support.
