<div>To our Dear Family and Friends,


</div>


<div>This is one of the hardest posts we’ve ever had to write.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>For over three years, we’ve been walking the long, painful road of infertility. We’ve prayed, cried, hoped, and kept moving forward—trusting in God’s goodness even in the waiting.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>We’ve carried this burden as far as we can on our own. We’ve spent thousands of dollars already on medical visits, treatments, and testing. By God’s grace, we were recently awarded a grant from the Bundle of Joy Foundation, and we’re so thankful. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But even with that incredible blessing, we still have about $10,000 left in out-of-pocket expenses for the IVF process.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>We don’t ask this lightly. Our pride makes this hard. But we know many of you have already been carrying us in prayer—and we believe there are some who would also want to help carry us financially toward our dream of having a baby.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>We’re starting this GoFundMe to help cover the final costs of IVF. Every dollar goes directly to this process.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>This journey has been so heavy at times. But the prayers of our family, friends, and church have truly carried us. We have felt the nearness of the Lord every step of the way—ever faithful, ever present, even in the silence and uncertainty.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>We know we’re not alone. Scripture calls us to bear one another’s burdens, and we’re learning how to lean into our people—our family in Christ—when the weight is more than we can carry ourselves.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>Even if you aren’t able to give, please continue to pray:


</div>


<div>That the process would go smoothly


</div>


<div>That we would be able to have a baby


</div>


<div>And most of all, that God would be glorified as we trust Him and wait on His perfect timing


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>If we raise more than our goal, we will donate the extra to the Bundle of Joy Foundation to help others in a situation like ours—just like they helped us.


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. For praying, for giving, for loving us through this season. Your support means more than words can say!


</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>With love and hope,


</div>


<div>Trent and Callan
