Support Heather and Brandon's Surrogacy Journey

My best friend, Heather, has always been a beacon of love and kindness to everyone who knows her. She is the kind of person who shows up for everyone else—whether as a godparent, aunt, daughter, or friend—but the one role she dreams of the most is being a mom. Tragically, this journey has been anything but easy for her and her husband, Brandon.

Over the past few years, Heather and Brandon have faced unimaginable challenges in their pursuit of starting a family. They’ve endured multiple failed rounds of IVF, a heartbreaking ectopic pregnancy that led to the loss of Heather’s fallopian tube, and the devastation of a private surrogate pulling out just weeks before their planned transfer.

Despite the pain, the tears, and countless moments of heartache, Heather’s resilience has been nothing short of inspiring. She was born to be a mother, and I truly believe that no one deserves this gift more than her.

Let me tell you a bit about Heather. I met her in 2019, during a challenging time for both of us. She had recently been injured at work and was on medical leave, and I was new to town, pregnant, and navigating life with my husband deployed. Little did we know, Heather was pregnant too! After being told her chances of conceiving naturally were slim, this miracle brought her so much joy—until tragedy struck. She suffered an ectopic pregnancy, and her fallopian tube ruptured, requiring emergency surgery. It was a terrifying and heartbreaking experience, one that drastically reduced her already slim chances of conceiving.

Once healed, Heather and Brandon began their IVF journey with courage and hope. They created 10 embryos, believing that this was the path that would lead them to their baby. But after three failed transfers, their hope was tested yet again. Determined, they decided to pursue surrogacy and found a private surrogate, feeling like their prayers had finally been answered.

But life had another cruel twist in store. Just a month before the transfer was scheduled, their surrogate backed out. Heather and Brandon were left heartbroken and unsure of what to do next. It’s taken them a year to recover from this devastation, but their dream of parenthood has not wavered.

Now, Heather and Brandon are ready to try again—this time through a surrogacy agency. This new path offers more security but comes with a hefty price tag of over $100,000. Heather is incredibly humble and has always been hesitant to ask for help, but I insisted she let me do this for her.

Becoming parents would be the greatest gift for Heather and Brandon, and donating to their journey is so much more than a financial contribution—it’s an answered prayer. Your support can help give them the joy and love they’ve fought so hard to experience.

Please join me in supporting Heather and Brandon’s journey to parenthood. Every donation, big or small, brings them one step closer to holding their baby in their arms. Together, we can help make their dream of a family come true.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity.
