Support Fabi and Christines Journey to Parenthood
I have always dreamt of being a mom. I guess when I got married, I assumed I’d be like all the women I knew. I’d seemingly sneeze and be pregnant. It’d take one cycle and I’d have two kids by the time I was 30, followed by a dozen after then. Boy, did I have my life all figured out. But God had different and more faith-filled plans than that. I’ve been on a journey and I’ve exhausted all my knowledge. I tried acupuncture, Chinese herbs, all the tricks and tries. With a failed pregnancy ending in the removal of my right fallopian tube, I finally decided to start trying again, but with no pregnancy. At the end of my wit, I decided to do the dreaded test that would end all my grappling in the dark. My remaining fallopian tube is blocked distally, meaning at the delicate part of my womb close to my ovary, my tube is blocked and it’s closed entirely off to my eggs. My heart was devastated as the doctor looked me in the eyes and told me there’s nothing he can do and that IVF was my only chance of being a mommy, not just aunty Teeny. As I composed myself and took a deep breath, I realized that my God is so much bigger and surely there are other things He can do. I left heartbroken but desperate; desperate to find exactly what God could do. Two years ago, a woman had mentioned to me a clinic she had gone to when she had her diagnosis of endo and blocked tubes. She’s now a mom of two. Clear Passage Therapy in Florida. As soon as I reached out to them, the woman on the other line had the exact same experience as I! Ectopic pregnancy and scarring that caused tubal infertility. This was a Godsend. This was my answer. It’s five days of 4-hour daily treatment breaking up and dissolving all adhesions in my abdomen, including the one blocking my fallopian tube. I have so much hope that this procedure will be the answer to my prayers and completely open my womb. My only halt has been the finances. They have accepted my application and want to move forward with treatment as soon as November. It’s $7K for the procedure, not including airfare and lodging.
If you feel called to give, pray, stand in faith, or praise God in this situation, please do. If you have words of knowledge, hope, or prayer, please share with me. I’m a broken vessel made so beautiful in this season. I cry more than I ever have but I also praise more than I ever have. His song surely is always on my lips. Pray strength over Fabi. We’ve been in a season of disappointment and he’s at the end's wit of hope. Pray.
I’m not asking just for finances, I’m asking for a partnership. I know it’s not adoption or an amount towards medical debt, but it’s faith towards a dream and desire. That this therapy would heal the ailment and bring life in my womb. If you can’t partner financially with me, partner in faith! Please pray. Pray I chose the correct PT and clinic. Pray for a miracle baby, many little ones that doctors told me I’d never bear in my womb naturally.
I thank you for reading this, I pray God blesses you and makes a way in all of our lives! Over every situation! Let His joy be our strength, for He surely does give beauty for ashes and joy for heaviness. Amen.
