love heals: the Westons

The path parenthood doesn't look the same for everyone.

After over 2 years of trying, and trying, and trying to conceive, the two consulted a doctor. Briana was soon diagnosed with not only a low egg count, but also low-quality eggs that had been affecting the ability to conceive. Since diagnosis, she has had 3 surgeries to remove multiple uterine fibroids. Thankfully even after these numerous surgeries, Briana's doctor was able to save her uterus and said it was strong enough to carry a baby to full term! 

The couple tried several alternative methods rather than conceiving naturally and Briana had to undergo yet another surgery; they even tried IUI (Intrauterine insemination) twice, both were unsuccessful attempts. Even after they got knocked down time and time again, the Westons remained in prayer and humble acceptance in spite of these upsetting occurrences. After more prayer and talking with their doctor about other potential options, the couple decided to move forward with a donor embryo program their physician suggested. This seemed like the most viable option for the couple to conceive considering all other avenues had failed them, but there was a catch. There's only one chance with this program. 

They proceeded and had a successful implantation of the embryo, only to lose the baby soon after. Ryan also had to undergo heart surgery at the same time as the loss of their baby.

Insurance does not cover any costs of this process, this is why Love Heals has chosen to walk alongside them in this time of need. We aimed to raise $4,274 to cover their loan payment for 1 year, and give more hope to this wonderful family in the making. 

As people rallied around them with heavy hearts and hands full of prayer, we were able to raise $2,676.67, significantly lowering their principal loan payment and enabling them to focus more on each other and their next steps moving forward.
