Kari and Keith's 2nd IVF attempt

Dearest family and friends, it is with humble hearts that we turn to you and ask for your help. It has been a dream of ours to grow our family, we have prayed and prayed for a baby, but the journey has been long and painful. We have been seeking fertility treatments for the past two years, beginning with a failed round of IUI and then a successful round of IVF that ended in a devastating miscarriage at 11 weeks gestation.

The medicine worked! The IVF worked! We believe in our hearts that it can work again, but we have already spent over $30k in fertility treatments and our resources are tapped.  We would love to try one more round of IVF but are scared to continue to go into debt on our road to having a baby. 



We are so blessed to have family and friends who have followed us along on this journey and supported us through the first round of IVF. When I had my miscarriage I received so many messages from friends and family who wanted to know what they could do to help. Well - this is it!

A second round of IVF will cost us between $22, 000 - $27, 000. It is so ridiculously expensive and we cannot do it alone without putting ourselves into substantial financial debt, but with your help there is hope for us to fulfill this dream of having a baby without having to take years and years paying off medical expenses.



It is so hard for us to ask for help. And even in writing this we feel overwhelmingly vulnerable and scared that it won't work. It is heart wrenching to want a baby so badly only to be held back by outrageous medical costs. But we have so much faith in our family and friends, who we know want to see this dream come true, that we just have to try it!

At this point in our journey, this isn't just mine and Keith's baby anymore, it has become "our" baby as an entire community of family and friends who love us and our boys and want to see our family completed with the addition of our miracle baby!

Thank you so much for any help you can provide, we are truly humbled by the outpouring of love and support!! If you would prefer to donate privately, don't hesitate to reach out to us personally. And please know if you are not in a position to help us financially that we would love to have continued prayers for our journey.

The IVF process is incredible, exciting, emotional, scary and vulnerable - and we want all of you to come along on this adventure with us! Regardless of how much we raise, we are committed to moving forward with a second round of IVF. Please come with us on this journey, we need your love and support - it means more to us than you could ever know.
