Hi, I’m Stephanie, and I’m writing this as Alex’s sister and Jamie’s biggest fan (not only by marriage but also in general, she’s dope!). These two are my heart and example to follow. They’re the kind of couple who face every storm together and somehow still find a reason to laugh (and make me laugh in the process). Their love runs deep: from college dorms to nerdy debates, to hollering hip-hop lyrics across the room, to raising my incredibly smart and amazing nephew, Xavier. They’ve shown the true meaning of love, determination, and teamwork, no matter what obstacles come their way.

Becoming parents wasn’t easy for them. It took years of trying, SEVERAL rounds of IVF, and a lot of faith before Xavier came along. Now, eight years later, their hearts are ready to try again – not to “start over,” but to continue the family they’ve started to build with so much love and hope.

Xavier dreams of being a big brother (and I dream of becoming an auntie yet again) and Alex and Jamie would love nothing more than to make that dream come true. IVF is an incredible process, but it’s also incredibly expensive and this time, they can’t do it alone. They need a village and WE are that village so let’s show up for them.

With the holidays coming up, I’m asking our friends, family, and even kind strangers: if you’re thinking about gifts this year, please consider donating to this cause instead. Helping them grow their family would mean more to us than anything you could wrap.

If you can give, share, or just send love their way, it all matters. Every bit of support helps bring them closer to the big family they’ve been dreaming of. Proceeds will go towards medications, treatments, transportation to and from the clinics.

Thank you for helping make room for one more miracle.
