Open Scheila's Path to Motherhood

Help Sheila Become a Mother — Hello, my name is Jaqueline Arbigaus, and I live in Massachusetts, though I was born and raised in beautiful Brazil. Today, I’m reaching out with a heart full of hope and purpose — to help a dear friend of mine, Sheila Vale, who lives in Acre, a remote and under-resourced region of the Amazon rainforest (Brasil). Sheila is 39 years old and has always dreamed of becoming a mother. But that dream is now at risk. She has been diagnosed with fallopian tube occlusion — a condition where both fallopian tubes are blocked, making it impossible for the egg and sperm to meet naturally. This is one of the most common causes of female infertility and can result from infections, endometriosis, surgeries, or congenital conditions. Time is critical. At 39, every month matters, and her doctors have recommended urgent surgical intervention to give her a real chance at conceiving. The treatment Sheila needs includes: Medical exams and fertility consultations Specialized surgery to unblock the fallopian tubes or prepare for IVF Fertility medications and recovery care Travel from her small town to a proper fertility clinic in a larger city The total cost is about R$15,000 Brazilian reais, which is approximately $2,900 USD — a sum that is simply not attainable for Sheila, who lives in a poor rural community with very limited healthcare access. As someone who personally struggled for years with infertility, I understand the emotional and physical pain that comes with it. After many treatments and countless prayers, God gave me the miracle of my daughter. That journey changed me — and gave me a calling to help others experience that same miracle. Now, I’m asking you to help Sheila. Whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this campaign, you can be part of a miracle in the making. Every contribution brings Sheila one step closer to holding her baby in her arms. With all my heart, thank you for standing with us. — Jaqueline Arbigaus
