Sarah & Jill Ford BABY DREAM
Donation protected
As many of you know Jill and I have been on this journey to becoming parents. It has been a difficult road. Last year we lost a baby and that was our last embryo. It felt like the end.
Five days after our boy was supposed to be born, the fertility clinic called and said they had donated eggs and they want us to have them. An immeasurable gift, both financially and humanly. It is as if miraculously, the road crew came back and is continuing constructing the path. How could we just turn around and go back? We must explore the new ground.
So here’s the ask: although the clinic is providing the eggs ($20,000 value), We still need to come up with $10,000 for the transplant. I know it seems like a lot and it is but anything you can do will help. I’m going to be transparent here, Jill is uncomfortable with this idea of asking for financial help. However, I am not. I didn’t find the love of my life until the age of 41. She happened to be a woman. My journey of becoming a mom shifted and now I find myself standing here. Whatever amount you give, whatever amount you don’t give, know that I am grateful that you at least read this and hope that whatever your dream is, you reach it. --Sarah Ford

For those of us that personally know this beautiful couple, they are brilliant loving women who want nothing more than to extend that love to an additional generation.
Jill Ford is a two-time cancer survivor who enjoys legos, making custom tree house fortresses, home maintenance, CARS most of all and of course her work with special needs middle schoolers.
Sarah Ford is a Korean-American who was adopted as a baby to a super loving household [the grandparent love on both sides will be over-the-moon!] She is a strong woman of grace, character and determination. She taught yoga for many years and currently has taken up fitness in running marathons and half-marathons again. She also enjoys her daily work with special needs middle schoolers.
Both Jill & Sarah are in long term recovery, Jill 2yrs and Sarah 8yrs. They sponsor women and are sponsored by women. They have good programs and home groups, support systems and wonderful people that live them surrounding their lives.
In their free time they enjoy concerts, house work together, hanging with their two awesome dogs and traveling. They hope to get a van soon and do some ‘tiny house living’ as they travel next. But this is so much more important than that. They both want a child more than anything in the world!
