Ian and I met during our undergraduate years in college while running track and field and cross country at Christopher Newport University. From the very beginning, our relationship has been built on teamwork, perseverance, and shared dreams. Three years into our marriage, we are now hoping to take the next step in our journey together, starting a family.

Like many couples, our path to parenthood has not been as straightforward as we hoped. After medical guidance we have made the decision to pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process brings hope, but it also comes with significant emotional, physical, and financial challenges.

The costs associated with fertility treatments, medications, procedures, and appointments add up quickly, and unfortunately, much of this is not covered by insurance.

We are humbly asking for any support whether financial contributions, encouragement, or sharing our story to help us move forward on this journey. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our dream of becoming parents.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us with love and kindness. We are deeply grateful to have such an incredible community around us as we take this hopeful step toward building our family.

With love and gratitude,

Ian and Abby
