Did You Know?

- According to CDC, 5.5 million confirmed pregnancies in the USA, of which 1.1 million (20%) end in pregnancy loss
- 1 in 6 women face barriers when trying to start a family

These are staggering statistics! In reality, this means we all know at least one woman who has or is struggling with the daunting emotions that come along with the dream of starting a family. It’s time we do something about it, and now, we are asking for YOUR help.

Angela’s Journey

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to become a mother more than I needed oxygen to breathe.

After 10 years of trying, 477 injections, 10 procedures, and 7 miscarriages, I had nothing left to give. I was all out of fight.

At that point, I just had to accept that it was simply not meant to be. Having approached every step of my journey with boundless hope, I somehow managed to keep a smile on my face while hiding immense pain from the rest of the world.

Although my journey was incredibly difficult and disheartening, I could not let this season of darkness define me any longer. What if my journey and all the pain was meant for more? What if I was the chosen one, to bring light to others, as they navigate through their own journey?

Even though my dream of becoming a mother did not come true, what I went through wasn’t without purpose. Not only did I gain self-worth, but also realized that my journey did not have to end there. Now, the time has come to turn my pain into purpose.

When looking back, what stands out the most is the numerous times a week I had to visit the clinic. Each time, I would put my feet in those cold stirrups. As I vulnerably lay there, I would try so hard to push away negativity and fear. All I could focus on was my feet and the plain, old pilled socks I was wearing. It was in that moment the idea for Fertile Feet was born.

When thinking about the vision behind Fertile Feet, I envisioned socks that would shift my mood, restore my hope, and give me strength. Our socks will be made in various colors and designs with a unique message that reminds each woman that whatever the outcome, it will be “a journey worth walking.”™

Since I did not have a child of my own, my mission is to give to children in need. Therefore, for every pair purchased, a pair will be donated to a child in adoption or foster care.

I'm excited to launch our first line of socks, but we need your help to make this dream a reality. The funds we are raising will provide us with the resources to get our company up and running. Specifically:
  • Manufacturing/production of inventory
  • Shipping costs
  • Marketing initiatives

Every donation (no matter how big or small), will bring us closer in accomplishing our mission. Your generosity will go well beyond monetary value; it will also provide immeasurable emotional support to women during what is arguably one of the most challenging times of their lives.

If you cannot contribute financially, you can still help by sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Spreading the word and increasing awareness is just as valuable and appreciated.

Together, we can get one step closer to providing other women the comfort and encouragement Angela wishes she had on her journey. Thank you from the depths of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.

Light and Love,
Angela
