Clair & Dillon

Clair dreamed of becoming a mother for as long as she could remember. It was a calling she felt deeply, one she believes God placed on her heart when she was just a little girl. Dillon shared that dream just as strongly, often saying the only person who wanted to be a parent more than he did was his wife.

They were married in 2020 and immediately began trying to grow their family, full of hope and expectation. But month after month, year after year, hope was tested. What comes so naturally for so many felt heartbreakingly out of reach. The journey stretched on for three long years, marked by countless appointments, unanswered questions, and treatments that brought more disappointment than clarity.

Despite their determination, the emotional toll was heavy. Insurance considered the next steps "unnecessary," even when it was the only path forward. IVF offered hope, but the cost was overwhelming. After already spending thousands on unsuccessful treatments, paying out of pocket with no guarantee of success felt impossible.

Still, Clair and Dillon never stopped dreaming. Clair longed to see Dillon become a father. Dillon pictured Clair carrying their child, rocking gently on the front porch as he pulled into the driveway after work. Asking for help was never part of the plan, but when they described the possibility of receiving a grant, they called it "life-changing."

In September 2022, on Clair's birthday, Clair and Dillon received The Bundle of Joy Fund grant. Nearly a year later, they welcomed their miracle baby Fuller, followed by twin boys Jeremiah and Harvey two years later, forever changing their lives. Because of The Bundle of Joy Fund, IVF was possible and Fuller has siblings.
