It Takes a Village
Donation protected
Hi! Meet Derek & Sheelah Hicks. They have been married 5 years. Derek works for Cleveland Utilities, & Sheelah is an ICU nurse at Tennova. They have 2 rescue dogs, Hank & Roscoe who they spoil & are crazy about, & they are Tar Heel basketball fanatics. For 4 years they have been trying to have a baby. When they were unable to get pregnant on their own, they sought help from 1 reproductive endocrinologist & then another. Sheelah & Derek have each endured countless tests. Sheelah has taken 4 rounds of infertility medications, & even had a corrective surgery last year. They have had 3 unsuccessful IUIs, & have suffered a miscarriage. As you can imagine, this has taken a toll on this family in every way possible.
Their next step is IVF. This is a challenging endeavor emotionally, physically, & financially. It involves more tests, more meds, & more waiting. They have endured so much & still desperately want a baby to love. It takes a village to raise a child, & they need your help. Every donation is appreciated & needed. Please keep this precious family in your prayers as they continue on this journey.
