Support Alex and Christian's IVF Journey

Help Us Start Our Family Through IVF

Hi, we’re Alex and Christian. This is hard to share, but we’re doing it with open hearts because we need help.

Starting a family has been our biggest dream. A few years ago, we had an early miscarriage that broke us in ways we didn’t expect—but we kept hoping. In 2023, we got pregnant again with our daughter, Samantha. For 22 weeks, we planned for her, talked to her, and imagined our life with her. Sadly, my water broke too early, and we had to say goodbye before ever getting the chance to say hello. That kind of heartbreak never really goes away.

After losing Sammy, we had another miscarriage. Three losses later, we learned that Christian has a severe male factor infertility issue that makes natural conception nearly impossible. IVF is our best—and maybe only—real chance at bringing a baby into this world.

We’ve gone through a lot of pain, but we’re still holding onto hope. We know we’d make amazing parents, and we’re ready to give everything we have to make that dream come true. Unfortunately, IVF is expensive, and insurance doesn’t cover much—if anything at all. That’s why we’re turning to our friends, family, and even kind strangers for support.

Even our three cats—Cheeto, Spaz, and our angel Domino—are rooting for their future tiny human sibling.

If you’re able to donate, share our story, or send a prayer or kind thought our way, we’d be forever grateful. Every little bit brings us closer to holding our rainbow baby in our arms.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With love,
Alexandrea “Alex” & Christian and the future babies.
