Megan and Danny: Holding onto Hope

My husband, Danny, and I have been together for 11 wonderful years and have been married for 7 of them. We share our home with a three-year-old dog and an eight-year-old cat, who bring so much joy and love into our lives. Together, we love traveling, experimenting with new recipes, attending concerts, and seeking adventure through activities like ziplining.

We started our journey to grow our family in August 2022. Unfortunately, it has been a challenging path. In August 2023, I experienced a miscarriage, and I was later diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Since then, I’ve undergone multiple fertility treatments, but so far, we haven’t had success. Each negative pregnancy test has been heartbreaking, but through it all, we continue to hold on to hope that we will one day become parents.

Receiving the a grant would give us the opportunity to continue pursuing our dream of starting a family and bring immeasurable happiness into our lives. We are so grateful for the chance to share our story and hopeful that with this support, we can make our dream a reality.

Megan and Danny are recipients of the Path to Parenthood Grant from the Jewish United Fund – Chicago.
