My wife and I are expecting our first child, a baby boy named Xavier. We’ve chosen to welcome him into the world with a natural water birth at a birthing center, believing this will give him the healthiest and happiest start possible. This experience means so much to our family, and we’re excited to build a strong foundation for Xavier as we begin this new chapter.

Cori and I met in 7th grade and have been trying to have kids for the last 11 years. We are over the moon excited to share our love and lives with our 1st born son, and look forward to more down the road. We have never been good at asking for help but things change for the better with the birth of a child and we've reconnected with so many great people in our lives as a consequence of this incredible experience.

The cost of the birthing center and midwife is more than we can comfortably afford right now. We want to give Xavier the best beginning, but we need help to make this dream a reality. Your support will directly help us cover the birthing center expenses, ensuring our son arrives in a safe and nurturing environment.

We would be incredibly grateful for any help—whether you share our story or make a donation. Anyone who donates at least 50$ will receive a personalized thank you letter and from us, sent via USPS (US only, we will reach out to ask for a mailing address). Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us welcome Xavier with love and hope.
