Bridget & Matthew

Bridget and Matthew had always dreamed of building a family. Married in 2014, it took over a year for them to conceive naturally, and the joy of seeing their first positive pregnancy test was unforgettable. But that joy was short-lived – just days later, Bridget began miscarrying. The devastation was profound. Months later, they became pregnant again. In May 2018, they welcomed their daughter Savannah – a true blessing.

When she was nine months old, Bridget and Matthew hoped to give her a sibling. What followed was one of the most difficult journeys of their lives. After multiple miscarriages and relentless testing, they learned that IVF was their only option. The cost was overwhelming, and their insurance offered no coverage. For a time, it seemed the dream of giving their daughter a sibling might never come true.

Amid their struggle, they applied for The Bundle of Joy Fund grant. While the application was the first glimmer of hope they had in years, they received devastating news – none of their eggs had survived their latest IVF cycle. Just when despair threatened to take over, their nurse shared some unexpected hope: they had been selected for The Bundle of Joy Fund grant.

With the grant, Bridget and Matthew were able to pursue IVF again. That cycle was successful, and they welcomed their son, Lane. Thanks to The Bundle of Joy Fund, Bridget and Matthew's family dream has become a reality – giving their daughter not one, but two brothers and creating a family filled with hope, love, and joy they had once feared impossible.
