Our love story wasn’t a fairytale beginning — it started in one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was rebuilding from heartbreak and loss, unsure of myself and uncertain of the future.

Then came John.

He saw me at my lowest and chose me anyway — baggage, scars, and all. What makes his love extraordinary is that he chose me knowing that, because of a medical procedure I had years ago, IVF is our only chance to have a child together. Still, despite this obstacle, John never wavered. He asked me to be his wife, and I knew in that moment what unconditional love truly feels like. For John, becoming a father carries a profound weight. He lost his only brother as a teenager, and he is now the last of his family line. If he never becomes a father, the line ends with him. We dream of having a child who can carry his brother’s name, give his incredible parents their first grandchild, and give John the joy and purpose of fatherhood that he so deeply deserves. IVF is not simply a medical procedure for us. It is our only chance to create life together — to turn pain into healing, to continue a legacy, and to bring a deeply loved child into this world. We are pouring our savings and a portion of John’s business earnings (John’s Services LLC) into this dream, but the cost is overwhelming. By helping us, you’re not just donating — you are giving us a chance to build a future, to heal old wounds, and to bring forth a child who will be cherished beyond measure. We will also be documenting and sharing our journey for anyone who wishes to follow along, because this story is not just ours — it’s a testament to love, resilience, and hope.

 With love and gratitude, Cristina & John ❤️
