Hi, we’re Brandon and Kristal. We met in 2020, five years ago on a dating app. I know this may sound cliché but from the moment we meet, it was love at first sight and that instant connection grew into something more. Fast forward two years, we got married! We’ve built a home full of laughter, quiet evenings, and the kind of partnership that makes even the ordinary moments feel special.
Our family and friends are parents and we absolutely adore children. We’ve longed for the day to have children of our own to share our days, our meals, adventures, and bedtime stories with. We pray for the future, where our family would be made not just of two, but of three or more.
Unfortunately, we cannot have children naturally. Being in our forties, we realized there was a problem and decided to see a specialist. During our first cycle of IVF, the egg retrieval left us with one egg that was not successful. The doctor told us that IVF with donor eggs is a better choice that can turn our dream into a reality as we would use eggs of donor in their twenties. We continue to dream and pray for the day we can hold our child in our arms.
The part the makes this journey even harder is the costs. Our insurance only covers $10,000 lifetime for infertility, which was used during our first cycle. To try another cycle, its an out-of-pocket expense costing $34,400 for one cycle. This covers already frozen donor eggs in a cohort of 6-8 eggs, medications, and the process.
We are grateful for every moment we’ve had together—the quiet mornings at home, the friends who have stood by us, the prayers and the countless ways we’ve learned to care for one another. The chance to become parents would multiply that gratitude a hundredfold, creating a family whose story will began with compassion from people who chose to invest in our future.
That figure, while daunting, cannot measure the enormous impact a single gift could have for us. A donation would not just fund a medical procedure; it would fund a dream we have cherished and pray for. A dream to wake up to the sound of a child’s laughter in our home, to celebrate milestones together, and to offer a lifetime of love to a child who begins life in a world already warmed by kindness, patience, and unwavering support.
To anyone reading this with a generous heart: you would be giving us more than a chance at parenthood. You would be gifting us a future built on the very best of humanity—hope, generosity, and the belief that families are made through love, not just biology. While we need continuous prayers, every monetary contribution, no matter the size, would be honored as a stepping stone toward a family we can call our own.
Thank you for taking the time to read ours, for considering a gift, and for joining us on a journey that is about more than a medical outcome—it is about a family and a future built on love.
With all our gratitude,
Brandon and Kristal
