Hi, my name is Jessica and I am Melanie’s sister. Some may be aware and others may not be, but Melanie and Brandon have been trying to start a family since they got married in 2019 and have hit road block after road block. After quite a bit of testing, appointments, shots, medications, you name it, they were finally told that their best bet to being able to have the family they have been desperately trying for is to pursue IVF treatments.

IVF is extremely expensive and isn’t covered by most insurances and after spending quite a bit of money on alternate treatments over the last year, it’s more than most people could afford. Mel originally thought that she could get her name on the schedule that is booked months out and save up for the next few months, but was told that she would have to pay $2,500 up front to even be put on the schedule. After seeing the heartbreak of yet another blow I wanted to see if I could find a way to help.

Anyone that knows these two know they would help anyone at any given moment. They have the biggest hearts and would make the best parents and I want to hopefully help give them that chance. I am hoping to raise some money (secretly) for them to at least get on the schedule for IVF. They do financing once they actually start, but if myself and those that love them can help them with that first step, I think that it could make a huge difference. Ultimately, I would like to try to keep this a secret since I know they have a hard time asking for help.

I know it is hard out there for everyone, but if you are able to donate even $1 it could make a difference. I know they have made a difference in many lives and collectively I think this could be helpful. If you can’t donate, that is okay too! Please just say a little prayer or send all the positive thoughts their way as they navigate this.

Thank you!
