Help Me Build My Family

Becoming a father has always been one of my greatest dreams. I have a naturally loving and nurturing spirit, and I have always imagined having the opportunity to raise a child—to guide them, teach them, love them, and watch them grow into an amazing person in their own right.

As a single intended father, my path to parenthood looks a little different. Building my family will require donor eggs, creating embryos through IVF, and ultimately the help of a gestational carrier. It is an incredible opportunity, but it also comes with significant expenses.

I don’t expect others to carry this dream for me. I’ve been working and saving toward it myself and have already set aside $10,000 toward the approximately $12,000 needed for six donor eggs. That’s a milestone I’m incredibly proud of, but the donor eggs are only the beginning. Embryo creation, medical and laboratory expenses, legal costs, embryo transfer, and gestational surrogacy will follow.

I’m creating this fundraiser to help bridge that gap and bring me one step closer to becoming a dad. Whether you choose to contribute or simply encourage me along the way, I’m grateful to have you be a small part of something that means so much to me.

One day, I hope I’ll be able to look back on this page and remember that this was part of the journey that brought my child home.
