Praying and Believing for a Baby Cooper - IVF

Hi! My name is Nicole. I am fundraising on behalf of Danielle and Jarrit Cooper. It is with humble and heavy hearts that they have agreed to begin asking for help. I am honored to be part of their story and am hopeful you will be too!

This couple is near and dear to my and my family's hearts! I have known Danni and her mom since she was ten. I have watched her grow into the amazing woman she is today and have always known she loves children and wants a family of her own.

She and Jarrit were married in April of 2016. They are a fantastic team! Jarrit comes from a large family, one that blows my mind. I am constantly amazed at how active of a role the Cooper father's all play in the children's lives and the way the family comes together to help others. In 2017 Danni learned that she had a congenital disability in her left fallopian tube. She had surgery and was told she should be able to conceive. But unfortunately, they have not been successful naturally or with the fertility treatments they have tried.

I sold them their first home back in 2018. They have spent the last four years growing more in love with one another and wanting to grow their family. They have created a beautiful home, advanced in their careers and been actively involved in their niece's and nephews' lives. I have no doubt these two will make incredible parents!

They have traveled a road unfamiliar to most with their attempts to conceive. Opening up to others has been challenging and emotional as one could imagine. As a result, they have kept quiet for the most part about their fertility journey. They were both taught to tackle challenges head-on and work hard for the things they wanted. With that said, what happens when you work hard and it's not enough? When you tackle challenges head-on, but they won’t go away? When you continuously have to confront your emotions or suppress them to get through the day? You have to ask for help.

We know fertility treatments/adoption can be controversial for some, and we respect that. We merely ask that if you don't agree or if fertility treatment goes against your views or religious beliefs, please still choose to show love, kindness and respect. Sometimes those helpful suggestions or opinions that you share cause lasting damage! We know you mean well, and we love you. Please know Danni and Jarrit have thought about, tried, or considered every possible suggestion you want to share. I promise!

To move forward, Danni and Jarrit need to have $20,000 ready to go before starting the next steps. Insurance pays little to nothing for infertility treatments and, in their case, nothing. So, all their doctor appointments, blood draws, analyses, medications, IUIs, and IVF are out-of-pocket expenses. We know the past couple of years have been financially HARD for many folks. We understand that giving money to others is not an option for some. But, please understand, we don't expect ANYTHING, and money isn't the only way to support them on this journey. So, instead, send them all the good vibes, prayers, and best wishes that you can muster up. We created this account as an avenue for those who want to help them financially.

Despite the last couple of years, they are not done fighting and are not ready to give up on adding that special little human to their family. Thank you for your donations and please keep them lifted up in your prayers as they continue to embark on this journey!

Wholeheartedly,

Nicole on behalf of Danni and Jarrit
