Becoming Parents The Roundabout Way

Donation protected
Five years ago, a pre-pregnancy checkup turned into surgery. We found ourselves standing next to our best friend’s husband as the surgeon delivered the news, she was safe but she lost her dream of carrying and having her own child. Cancer took “the easy way” away from Heather and Matt, but it never took anything else. For four years, this couple helped each other through the scary, sad and painful times — never complaining, never giving up on each other. The “traditional way” of becoming parents is gone, but thanks to technology, surrogacy is Heather & Matt’s “roundabout way” to have the family they deserve and the answer to adding two amazing parents to this world. 

Unfortunately, amazing feats of science are pricey, very pricey. And it has this hard working couple on an uphill battle to find the funds to be able to pursue surrogacy.

Enter us, the friends, determined to help in anyway we can. Because that’s what friends do. They keep dreams alive even when they seem impossible. So here we are looking to see if you can help us make happiness possible. Thanks to surrogacy and amazing people like yourself, this doesn't have to be a sad story.

We need to find 50,000 to 100,000 amazing people just like you from across this world to donate $1 (literally just one George Washington) and together we can turn Heather and Matt’s life upside down again, only this time for the better.

And you should know, that any remaining donated funds after Heather & Matt’s surrogacy is complete will be passed along to someone in the same situation - a couple looking to become parents, the roundabout way. 
We believe in paying it forward, always.

So join us with $1, $5, $10, $250 - whatever you can offer. Be a part of this exciting opportunity to make someone's dreams come true. And then after you donate,  click on the SHARE button & brag about it. Your friends need to know what a great person you are! You deserve it and we give you full permission. Do it in the name of making someone's dreams come true.
