For nearly 18 years, we have built a life filled with love, laughter and hope. We have known from the very beginning of our relationship that we were destined to be parents, but we did not foresee all the life lessons we would encounter along the way. After a few years of settling into our marriage we decided it was time to make our parenthood dreams come true. After several years of trying and faithful praying, it was still just the two of us. At that time, we sought medical advice which provided us with answers to our questions but a large bill to obtain our heart’s desire. We decided at that time the financial commitment was more than we could bare and decided to take some time to think. To our surprise, God had a plan. We were blessed with a miracle – our daughter. She is the answer to our prayers, our joy and our light. However, we feel, deeply, that our family is not yet complete. There is still a child-sized hole in all 3 of our hearts. Due to our age, time has become a major factor in our decision-making process, and we have once again been presented with the opportunity to pursue IVF to fulfill this dream. However, the financial burden is significant, a challenge we can't overcome alone. We're asking for your partnership in our family's journey. Your generosity will help us fill that missing piece. Your support will directly impact our ability to pursue this dream, to give our daughter a sibling, and to complete our family. Every donation, big, small or even just your prayers, gives us hope and a chance to make our dream a reality. Thank you for joining us on this journey and believing in our dream. With love and hope, Betsy, Eric and Aubrey
