We have struggled with the idea of putting this out there and asking for help.  

Many of you know about my horrific accident back when I was 19, and how it's a miracle I was even able to have children of my own. Doctors told me I would never walk again, let alone have children.  I was in a hospital bed for over three months and in a wheelchair for two.  I was determined to prove them wrong, so without physical therapy I taught myself how to walk again with foot drop and nerve damage in my right leg.

A lot of you know me and my four beautiful children from my first marriage.  You also know the struggles I went through with my ex-husband and raising my children on my own as a single mom - even when I was still legally married to him.  

When Darrell and I met in 2012, he immediately took on the role of Dad to my children.  Of course we've had a lot of bumps in the road as a blended family, but at the end of the day he loves them.  He provides for them, and works overtime to support our family.  

I made a decision to tie my tubes back in 2010 after the birth of my last child.  Since I met Darrell, I have regretted having that procedure done.  He has no biological children of his own, and we feel like the time is now to try to have a child together.  I feel selfish even asking for help since I do have children of my own when some have none.

We don't believe in hand-outs or getting anything for free.  Any donation $100 or more, I would love to give you a 1hr photography session if you live in my area.  

These funds are to help with the IVF procedure cost of $15,000.

Thank you so much for even taking the time to read my story.
