This is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I went thru infertility for 9 years and lost two babies (miscarriages). But God had another plan for me. My husband and I adopted a beautiful baby boy 19 years ago. I feel so blessed even though my son did not grow in my tummy he grew in my heart and that is exactly how he tells it. Never give up God has a plan for all of us. Blessings
They hit 1M!!!! Ellie and Jared I'm crying. I love you. So proud of you beautiful people. Love your kids and your amazing life I can not do this right now. I am in tears. I just love you and hope to meet you some day
You are such beautiful souls. Jared I met you at vloggerfair in Seattle this year and told you about my journey through fertility treatment and IVF. I got the call the day before thanksgiving that has changed my life. I'm pregnant!! It feels too good to be true. IVF is such an incredible thing that we are lucky to have available for families struggling. But the cost is absolutely incredible. What you are doing is so inspiring. Thank you for being the magical little family that you are. You gave me hope every day throughout my journey. Love you guys!!! (Also it's so fun to see Jackson and Calvin playing with their puppy/captain America pillows!!) :)
How beautiful! What a wonderful gift to give a deserving couple. It's absolutely heartbreaking to go through infertility. I have been been going through infertility for 2 years and after my 3rd IUI with injectables all have failed. My Dr told us that we need IVF treatments. It's heartbreaking. I will not be entering the contest because we can afford treatment and I'd rather have a couple that can't afford it win. You are angels. Thank you!
Another true heart! You and your husband are giving a gift that someone deserving will receive instead of taking it for yourselves. That is one of the sweetest things, and I'll bet you get your treasure before long too!
Dacia Medina Get a hysteroscopy before fertility treatment not many doctors tell woman to do this before ivf you will probably fall pregnant immediately!
i've been watching your video since you were expecting jackson me and my husband had 4 miscarriage on the 1 or 2 months and still trying for a little angel in our life
The second you announced that you were gong to pay so that one person could have a chance at a family, started crying. I have looked at how much it costs, and for many people, they can not afford it. I can't and maybe never will be able to pay for IVF. I am crying because I know how much this will mean to the person who gets this. Four 14 years I have been told I would NEVER have a biological, that my body may not even handle IVF. This is because I have 45X Turner Syndrome. There was only a 1-2 Percent chance i would even be born. The chance of ovulating is even lower then than. How ever...Recent tests are showing that I possibly am... The journey of infertility s not only emotionally painful, but physically painful. I have only begun my journey and it has been full of tears. I am hoping in the end the results are happy and it shows what Gods plans are for me. Which ever family wins the IVF, you have given them a blessing they will NEVER forget, you are such an amazing and beautful family..... Much love
You two are such an amazing couple. I was crying while watching this. I'll be praying for the selection process and the couples who enter. It's incredible that you guys are able to do this. I love this. I love you guys.
This is so amazing!! You two are so amazing and so special. I started watching your channel two years ago! My husband and I were struggling with infertility for three years before we were blessed with our miracle baby last October;)
I tried for 12 yrs and finally unexpectedly got pregnant. Miscarried at 6 1/2 weeks. Devastated. 7 months later pregnant again. Miscarried at 5 1/2 weeks. I have a uterine anomaly that prevents me from carrying. I know that IVF isn't an option for me but I just wanted to say that you are giving one of the most precious gifts. God bless you and your family. You are so precious and selfless. And I truly know deep in my heart you are doing something so genuine and loving. I am praying for the family who receives this gift that they are able to start their healthy and happy family.
When I first heard that you were changing someone's life I thought that you were adopting!! Nevertheless, this is such an incredible thing you two are doing!! So happy and excited for all the families entering ❤️
I feel like such a proud mama seeing Ellie and Jared hitting 1M. I love you two and I love your family. I truly feel as if you two are a part of my daily life and I think of you as family. Whenever you are happy I am happy and you spread so much positivity and love to my family. thank you for being such a wonderful family.
You both are ABSOLUTELY amazing!! I FINALLY was able to get pregnant naturally after 2 years of infertility, but it was YOU both that gave me constant hope. When I was doubting if my husband and I could get pregnant, I went back to your first videos and regained that hope that it would happen for us. After a surgery, and years of infertility, it happened. God granted us our miracle angel that will be here in February. 9 weeks to go! Love you guys so much and all that you do!!
Great video you guys. It is a great thing you are doing for a family struggling with infertility. As we both know, it is a terrible thing to struggle with infertility. It is mentally, physically, and financially devastating. You are doing a wonderful thing here, and I am sure you are going to make a family very happy for the rest of their lives.
I'm in tears!! You guys! You are going to make an amazing difference in someone's life!! My sister and I (14 years old) give back to the children her locally in NSW, Australia and to see others wanting to help is such an honour! I am so honoured I am able to come along with you on your journey! THANKYOU SO MUCH! This means a lot to me because I know you guys are going to make such a big difference! 😊❤️🎉
I remember trying for my little one been 4 years she was born at 23 weeks who wasn't suppose to survive I now have a happy healthy little girl who brings so much joy into our life's I know how heartbreaking it is and how amazing you guys are giving someone a gift of life truly amazing keep up the good work
I just lost my baby yesterday and passed the baby at home the ER sent me home the day before. This video has me in tears! My insurance doesnt cover any infertility. My wedding is on December 10th but ill be putting together a video with my soon to be husband. You guys are amazing.
You know how everyone is like "goals" "omg they're goals" ? You seriously are. You set such a good example for everyone that watches you. You bring nothing but positivity. Even when you guys go through a hard time, you guys prove that it is just a season and that you can overcome everything together as a family. Thank you for being so amazing.
I can't stop crying! This is so wonderful! They haven't even picked a winner, and I'm already so happy for them! My husband and I have been on an infertility journey ourselves. We are not quite at the point of needing IVF but that's next if IUI doesn't work. God Bless whoever receives this! You are truly doing God's work.
this video made me cry! just to think about the family you will be blessing makes me feel so overwhelmed with joy for whoever they are! infertility is a huge part of our past, now with 4 beautiful children of our own we feel so totally blessed & give God the glory for it all 💛💛
I have longed to be a mother for a very long time. But because of my health I don't ever see that becoming a reality. I was a step mother, but then that got ripped away from me when my husband left me. So now being divorced, the longing for motherhood it not in my grasp and I cannot see how it will ever be in my future. With that said, I pray right now for the couple that you guys bless with this gracious gift. There are so many people out there that take being a parent for granted and sooo many people out in this world who would give anything to be a parent. This is the sweetest gift you could give someone. I honestly hope that the couple who receives this gift documents their journey. It would be amazing to hear and see the process. I have loved seeing your journey, and I do hope this couple shares their journey too.
You got me through two years secondary infertility with my husband and then our 3 miscarriages on clomid treatment before it was discovered I have PCOS. Now hubby and I are parents to 3 beautiful children but I was completely broken after not being able to conceive again after we had our first baby. We never imagined we'd have another baby let alone 2 on fertility treatment! Thank you for posting your infertility journey.
Ellie and Jared....you guys are amazing. I am an ultrasound technician in south Arkansas. I see patients that struggle with infertility all the time. What you are doing is going to change someone's life in such an amazing way. Your channel has become a part of my husband and I's daily routine. Thank you so much for all that you do. We love you!
I have watched y'all from the start and still look forward to watching! Me and my husband have been trying for 3 years now and have been told IVF is our only option due to my tubes being blocked for when I got MRSA in my c-section. It is scary how expensive it is. We are not entering because we have already been blessed with our 4 year old and do not want to take an opportunity like this away from someone else. This is so amazing of you guys! God truly blessed each and every subscriber by allowing us to watch y'all. Love y'all Mecham family!
I just wanted to say thank you for helping others struggling with infertility! I came across your page while on instagram and not going to lie, cried like a baby when I watched this video. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. These last 2 years have been the hardest years of my life with struggling with infertility and losing my mom to cancer. My husband and I start IVF in January and I understand what a financial burden this is. I hope my husband and I have the same success as you two and that one day we can give back to others TTC. Good luck to everyone, can't wait to see all your journeys.
You both have the kindest hearts and the most giving souls. What you are doing is beyond the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Congrats to you and your family. You are so deserving of this. And how kind it is that you are providing the ultimate dream to a beautiful family.
We've been on a 10 year journey. I have PCOS and it took over 3 years to become pregnant. Midway through my pregnancy I had placental abruption, still don't know why that happened Our son was born sleeping on Oct 22nd. 19 months later our daughter joined him in Heaven. I started watching you guys while you were ttc Jackson. Love you guys and so excited for the family who gets this special grant.
I have tears in my eyes, as a 69 year old woman who had corrective dwarfism, I stopped growing at 35 inches with a very rare form of dwarfism I was very fortunate to get human growth hormone which at the time was only available to very few children, I was on HGH shots for 17 year and while I have shrunk an inch, I am 5' 4" not 35 inches. I couldn't have children, so I devoted my life to other people children. This gift is both stellar, and life changing and I think it's amazingly opportunity for the winner. The spirit of Christmas is indeed within in your hearts. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" You both exemplify that.
I'm full on bawling right now. I've been following your journey since the beginning and I've prayed for you so many times. I celebrated with you, cried with you. My husband and I have been trying for over 5 years so far with no luck. With each of your pregnancies I've celebrated every milestone as if it was my own. I'm so excited to apply.
I'm crying with the generous donation you are making. Coming from infertility, it just makes me so happy that you are helping someone's dream come true.
You guys are amazing! I cried, a lot.. We are going through IVF in January next year, after four years of infertility. I'm hoping that at the end of 2017 I can call myself a mother. Scared, exited, nervous, happy..all at once! I love you guys
Omg I just cried so much I'm in Canada and suffered infertility 3 years Ivf fails 2 times and 3 fails iui's now we have a beauty 15 month dd and expecting our son in Jan 4 losses nicu baby premie you guys are truly truly god send and I thank you fr the bottom of my heart for doing this for someone may God continue to bless your beautiful family I truly love you guys I wish I seen this more often and fr big TH-camrs also maybe this will also touch others to reach out to do the same or come together and chip in for another couple God bless
This is so wonderful! Such selfless, caring people deserve all the success they have gotten. I'm a little choked up and am so happy for whoever will receive this gift
I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first surrogate baby. Giving the gift of life to a family is the most amazing experience I have ever gotten the opporunity to live. Ellie and Jared are doing something truly selfless. I hope they will be able to be apart of the lives of the family they fund through their IVF process and pregnancy, and maybe the life of the baby.
Guys - I don't have fertility issues, but when you announced what you were doing, I immediately started crying. I have an incompetent cervix and it was very, very hard to carry this baby in my arms to full term. This is so amazing what you're doing! I don't think I've been a TH-cam channel give back on quite this scale. You guys are truly humble and truly down to earth...I love you!!
this is honestly the best thing i think i have ever seen. you guys havent not forgotten where you started, us or why you starting youtube vlogs. this is such a beautiful thing to do. i wish everyone who applies the best of luck
Just sobbed through this entire video! I'm an IVF success story..my parents were able to do IVF through my mother's job wayyyyy back in 1993 - which is crazy! But they ended up pregnant with triplets. 2 of us survived & IVF was the BIGGEST blessing for our family..I'm amazed at the way God is using you guys to give someone this opportunity! I love you guys!!!
I am so incredibly impressed. My husband and I did IVF and now have a 2 year old beautiful boy. You are so generous to gift this to someone. I adore your blog and your family. The world is a better place with you in it.
You guys are wonderful people. As someone who struggled with PCOS, you will change the financial burden of the gut wrenching journey of infertility. I have been blessed with 2 healthy babies, I wish the winner of this gift many blessings and a y dust. Thank you guys for never forgetting the families who struggle with infertility. To the women who are now struggling with their journey to be a mother; I pray for you every night.
I think it's amazing that you'd do this for a family struggling with infertility. My mom and dad struggled. They tried for so long to have a baby. Seven years, one miscarriage and one IVF treatment later my I was born and without that treatment I wouldn't be here today. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
i honestly cannot believe that there are such beautiful souls in this life like you. you are amazing. my husband and i tried for 3 long years for a baby. and saved for 6 years for a house. on feb this year we where blessed with our little boy , and in june we braught our house!!! you are about to bring that miracle into someones life. a baby is a blessing and an incredible gift.
Wow that is such an amazing gift! My mom struggled with infertility for 10 years until she tried IVF and just a few months later my brothers and I were born:)
Currently balling right now. This is the most beautiful gift ever, period. I have no idea what it's like dealing with infertility, but I can't wait to see who wins and see the pure joy and thankfulness on their faces. I hope you keep in touch with the winner and show us how they're doing on their journey! And as always, prayers of healing and life more abundantly for those facing infertility.
Aw you guys made me cry! You are so amazing to give someone this opportunity. My aunt had 13 miscarriages before she had my cousin, he was the only surviving baby of triplets and she had to have a complete hysterectomy after he was born. I'm so lucky to have my daughter between health issues and family history and I can't imagine life without her. I'm so glad you're giving someone the opportunity to experience what it's like to be a parent.
I first came across you guys when my husband and I started out infertility journey a couple of years ago. It was so comforting to find you and that I wasn't alone. Today we have our Calvin, and he's almost a year old. I wish I had the platform you did to help people. It's so amazing what you're doing. I love it! Thanks for sharing your lives, and your kindness.
Just when you think they can't get any sweeter they just they really do deserve all their blessings, they are the example of someone who worked hard and now CAN give back.
This is such an incredible gift. My wife and I used IVF to conceive our son. Our first round ended in losing twins. Our second round with frozen embryo transfer resulted in our son, who just turned 1 on December 1. IVF is a miracle. You guys are giving a miracle. Thank you for doing this for someone. So selfless and amazing.
I immediately started crying hearing him say it and had to go back and watch again like 5 times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. This is so so amazing. YOU both are so amazing! Thank you for being so giving. You are going to seriously change someone's life! Thank you thank you thank you!
You two are such beautiful souls! IVF is emotionally & physically taxing and the cost of it is just as stressful. Someone is going to be so incredibly blessed & appreciative of this. God bless you both! I just finished my second round of IVF and found out Friday it was successful! Two and a half years & my little baby is finally on it's way!
Omg this is so amazing I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I only have one tube from a tubal pregnancy 4 years ago after surgery is was told there was a 50/50 Chance I couldn't have kids I got pregnant last year and I'm still in shock my daughter will be a year old next month and here I am pregnant and I love that you are doing this is hope that everyone gets through their journey I have been giving thought to be a surrogate to be able to give someone the blessing of life in couldn't get through typing this without crying baby dust to all families going through a tough patch in life keep a positive mind and have a blessed life
This is so INCREDIBLE!!! What an amazing gift :) My husband and I struggled with infertility for nearly two years. After all the struggles, fertility medication that never seemed to help, and two failed IUIs we decided it was time to move forward and look into IVF. We decided to take a month "off" from trying and just relax until our IVF consultation. One week prior to our appointment I found out I was pregnant!!! My husband and I were lucky enough not to have to go through all the struggles that come with IVF but even so, we knew we were going to be in for quite a journey. This gift you are offering to someone is going to change their lives for the better and I can only imagine how helpful this will be to whoever the lucky people are that win the contest! You two are amazing, inspiring, and generous. I cannot wait to see the all the contestants videos and follow the journey to come!
As someone whose suffered infertility for so many years this just gives me hope! I know it probably won't happen to me but it still gives you the little bit of hope. It's good to have hope when you're in these situations. Where so many times you've been disappointed as most infertile couples know. This Christmas Eve my husband and I are going on 9 years together 6 of them trying for a baby with no end in sight. If it's taught me anything its to be happy for stories like yours. Stories with hope and a positive outcome. Because even if it isn't today it will be one day. Thank you guys for being you. 💖💖
Such a touching gesture! Amazing people! My husband and I are so blessed to FINALLY be on a fertility medicine that works for myself😇 I had a miscarriage in August, but we are keeping faith it will happen in God's timing.
this is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. the fact that you guys want to help a person that you don't even know, have a baby just shows how caring and wonderful you 2 really are. thank you for caring so much.
I can't even begin to explain how you guys and your family are the most humble, caring family in this TH-cam industry! This video has made me cry in a ball of joy because you have a heart of pure gold. Amazing.
I just wanna say that y'all are some of the most giving and the nicest people I've ever known of! y'all are amazing and absolutely deserving of the amount of following you have! words can't express how grateful I am to be one of those million subscribers! thank you for being the people that I strive to be in my future, being a 14 year old girl, it's very amazing to be able to watch such an amazing family every day. so I want to say thank you for all you do❤! and good luck to all the entries!
Congratulations on 1m!!! You deserve it, I have been watching since the beginning and you have given me so much hope. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 10 years, our 6th miscarriage was in October this year. But we still have faith it will happen for us! Much love from Maine!!!!
I had goosebumps through this whole video guys. How wonderfully kind of you both. I watch your videos all the way from Perth, Western Australia. My husband and I have been struggling with secondary unexplained infertility for over 2 years now. It is painfull, emotionally draining and just utterly heart wrenching to go through this journey. We are litterally at breaking point. Well done to you both, I can feel you are going to make a families dream come true. xxx
I've been watching you guys for a while but have never commented. This just blew me away and I couldn't not comment. I've recently had three miscarriages and am about to start my own infertility journey so this really hit home and when you announced what you were doing I lost it. What a wonderful gift you are giving someone. You are such wonderful, beautiful, generous people and I truly feel blessed to be a part of your audience ❤️
You both have hearts of gold and I am so happy to watch you all daily. I found you when my husband and I went through surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and we were torn apart in feelings and reality!! Six months later we tried IUI and lost another... we battle insurances saying they don't cover an "elective" process, to watching cycles or no cycle hobby saving up for the medicine... your family and the others I watch have brought faith and strength back into our dreams! My husband and I have been married close to four years and we are trying the medicine again... fingers crossed and prayers be said please we find out if it worked this Christmas!!! Love you all!!
I and my husband was struggle about infertillity for 3 years and just got preg from IVF on May this years. This is so blessing that all you do for others out there. Love you guys wish you all and family have great things back return more!!!
As one who suffered from infertility, multiple miscarriages, 2 stillbirths and secondary infertility you are truly remarkable and have wonderful hearts♡ it's a VERY painful journey. Many prayers to you as you pick someone.
Jared and Ellie. I shared this on my facebook page today. And asked friends to do the same. Just never know who may see it and need help. Going to be an amazing next we weeks. God Bless you and your family. You are very blessed, because God sees all the wonderful things you do. And your pure loving hearts. I am so blessed that I found your channel and other's in your family.
I think this is an amazing gift you are offering. I personally have never struggled with infertility and have been blessed with 3 beautiful babies. I just want to wish good luck to all who enter, and thank you Ellie and Jared for helping give the gift of life for there most certainly is nothing better!!!
My daughter's name is Ellie. We lost our son, his name was Jack. I ordered one of your E&J shirts and wear it when I need to feel close to him. I also adore you and your family. Our children were born to another family and we adopted Ellie at birth. Jack didn't work out the same. My husband and I had a long journey through infertility. This gift is completely and totally generous. You are both so kind!!
my face is rolling with tears. you two have been hope for my husband and I since the beginning! you two are so amazing. my husband and have been trying for 8 years. we finally got the chance to be parents to out beautiful baby boy that we adopted when he was born. unfortunately we have been told we can't carry unless we receive IVF. we want more children and would love to have the opportunity to carry but we cannot afford. thanks for the hope ellie and Jared. I love watching your little family. thank you for the hope once again.
Oh man. You guys! What a wonderful and beautiful gift you are giving! What a blessing this will be to someone! Praying for everyone who watches who is struggling with infertility. My heart goes out to each of you.
Hello, sweet family! I'm 19 years old. I've been watching your vlogs for a year and a half. You change my whole worldview. I am so greatful to find you. I am so greatful to know that people like you excist. Wish you happiness and precious moments from the bottom of my heart! You made my world a better place. And I'm sure, i'm not the only one!
I'm so thankful for this world to have people like you two. Thank you so much in advance on behalf of whoever finally get your gift. You guys have such a big heart.
I think it is so amazing that you are doing this for someone! I struggle with infertility myself and after 2 years of treatments we were blessed with our daughter who is now 5. We tried for over 3 years for another baby but it doesn't seem like it is going to happen for us. I am very grateful for my healthy daughter! I hope this cycle that you are donating is successful and allows someone the chance to be a parent and to feel all the joys and proud moments that they've longed so much for! You guys are amazing!
I'm blessed to be a mom, and blessed again with our second that will be arriving in June. It breaks my heart to imagine all the wonderful childless parents who cannot take the first step in to having their own. Thank you for this wonderful gift. You will be changing the lives of wonderful parents.
Wow, this is incredibly grateful of you. I've been a sub of your channel for about 3 yrs now. We even came to the meet & greet in Seattle to meet you. I have dropped hints about my stories losing a little boy @ 20 weeks in utero, the grief that was so deeply hard to get over alone b/c individuals grieve very differently. I had no support from my babies boys dad. No one understood. It was a inconvenience for people to take the time to listen. They weren't walking my shoes. I only have a tiny green silk box with a few memento's & pictures. My memories of CONNOR who nobody had time to for. I felt lost and alone until the hospital realized how difficult it was and how much I struggled. I wanted to write you about my story but you haven't commented to one of the remarks I've shared. I have a rainbow baby who followed after conceiving 3 months after my loss. It's a long story hard story. Alee was at the meet and greet and I feel so blessed to have her. We met Jared (Ellie was sick). I didn't go into it. We want to become creators and this is why Due to financial hardship we won't be able to till early 2017, we hope. My little Alee weighed 2 lbs @ birth and together we sent over 230 days in the hospital. But God gave me the first and last girl I will ever have in this life. I'm so grateful. After losing Connor this is where my story began. I want to share & become a new creator in hoes of helping others. Schmitz Fam/Seattle💗💙
You guys are two of the most caring youtubers! I have never struggled with infertility but I can't even imagine how much this would mean to someone struggling with infertility.
Now I'm in tears. You guys are incredible. Jared you said this is something simple you guys are doing, but the thing is this is such a life changing thing you both are doing for some couples life. Now let's see if I can get my spouse to not be camera shy. Been struggling with Infertility and a miscarriage for 3 & 1/2 years. With both male and female Infertility. Our biggest hope for us as well with I'm sure many others is IVF, and this is incredible that your helping a family that can't afford treatment to hopefully start there family. Sending virtual hugs to both of you. Your channel continues to send Hope to so many families.
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your blessings. I don't need IVF, I can't imagine wanting children, not being able to conceive naturally, and also not being able to have the financial means to do something to help the process. But it heals my heart just a little bit to know there are such beautiful people as you all in the world.
youre amazing! ive been fortunate to be blessed with three healthy children and i cant imagine the heartache of struggling with infertility. what an amazing gift x
My heart overflows with joy watching this video. The reason you have so many blessings is because of things like this. You could so easily just keep to yourselves, and enjoy your wonderful little family, but your hearts are so kind and pure, and God rewards that. Even though I'm not entering the contest, thank you for doing this. You are giving someone the opportunity to have their dreams come true. I just love you guys!
im crying... you guys are so amazing.... I have been struggling for years to have a little one and a brother or sister for my 10yr old daughter. a year ago on the 1st I lost a baby at 17 weeks pregnant and found out I had PCOS and that now my chances the dr says it a very slim chance of having another without help. this whole week has been very hard and I have done nothing but cry every day and sad knowing that this would have been his/her first christmas
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for even thinking of doing this!! My husband and I just sent in the application and will be making the video portion tomorrow morning, we are SO excited for this!! We are hopeful even though thousands of other couples also deserve this. We love you guys and your big hearts!!!
What an amazing and heart felt gesture to do for someone. Ellie and Jared's generosity is something you see so few and far between nowadays. I wish there were more people like you all! Congrats on 1 million!
This made me cry happy tears. I don't suffer from infertility but I can imagine how difficult the struggle is. This is so awesome of y'all to do this for somebody! Y'all are beyond amazing!!!
This is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I went thru infertility for 9 years and lost two babies (miscarriages). But God had another plan for me. My husband and I adopted a beautiful baby boy 19 years ago. I feel so blessed even though my son did not grow in my tummy he grew in my heart and that is exactly how he tells it. Never give up God has a plan for all of us. Blessings
Molly 2016
Molly 2016 Aw bless your heart!!! I am very sorry for your losses.

Amelia Shelhamer. I hope to see them to and I was so happy for them😄😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂
Amelia Shelhamer They DESERVE it SO MUCH!! 🤗 I am so HAPPY for them!! 🎉🎉🎉💜💜💜
You are such beautiful souls. Jared I met you at vloggerfair in Seattle this year and told you about my journey through fertility treatment and IVF. I got the call the day before thanksgiving that has changed my life. I'm pregnant!! It feels too good to be true. IVF is such an incredible thing that we are lucky to have available for families struggling. But the cost is absolutely incredible. What you are doing is so inspiring. Thank you for being the magical little family that you are. You gave me hope every day throughout my journey. Love you guys!!! (Also it's so fun to see Jackson and Calvin playing with their puppy/captain America pillows!!) :)
Jenn & Doug Gallaher that is SO wonderful!!! many many CONGRATULATIONS!!! 😄💜🎉
Jenn & Doug Gallaher congratulations!
Jenn & Doug Gallaher CONGRATULATIONS!!!
congatulations. im so happy for you.
Jenn & Doug Gallaher Oh my goodness! Congratulations! That's amazing news! 💚
How beautiful! What a wonderful gift to give a deserving couple. It's absolutely heartbreaking to go through infertility. I have been been going through infertility for 2 years and after my 3rd IUI with injectables all have failed. My Dr told us that we need IVF treatments. It's heartbreaking. I will not be entering the contest because we can afford treatment and I'd rather have a couple that can't afford it win. You are angels. Thank you!
Another true heart! You and your husband are giving a gift that someone deserving will receive instead of taking it for yourselves. That is one of the sweetest things, and I'll bet you get your treasure before long too!
Rose Broadway Thankyou!
Dacia Medina Get a hysteroscopy before fertility treatment not many doctors tell woman to do this before ivf you will probably fall pregnant immediately!
i've been watching your video since you were expecting jackson me and my husband had 4 miscarriage on the 1 or 2 months and still trying for a little angel in our life
The second you announced that you were gong to pay so that one person could have a chance at a family, started crying.
I have looked at how much it costs, and for many people, they can not afford it. I can't and maybe never will be able to pay for IVF. I am crying because I know how much this will mean to the person who gets this.
Four 14 years I have been told I would NEVER have a biological, that my body may not even handle IVF. This is because I have 45X Turner Syndrome. There was only a 1-2 Percent chance i would even be born. The chance of ovulating is even lower then than. How ever...Recent tests are showing that I possibly am...
The journey of infertility s not only emotionally painful, but physically painful. I have only begun my journey and it has been full of tears. I am hoping in the end the results are happy and it shows what Gods plans are for me.
Which ever family wins the IVF, you have given them a blessing they will NEVER forget, you are such an amazing and beautful family.....
Much love
Hae-won Lee I have 45x Turner syndrome too xx
Shell Pullar when did you find out? I didn't know till I was ten years old. I'll be 25 on the 11th
Hae-won Lee if you don't mind me ask what is 45x turners syndrome
Thank you for sharing your story, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. = )
Hae-won Lee what is it anyway?
You two are such an amazing couple. I was crying while watching this. I'll be praying for the selection process and the couples who enter. It's incredible that you guys are able to do this. I love this. I love you guys.
May the odds be ever in your favor 😂😂😂
This is so amazing!!
You two are so amazing and so special. I started watching your channel two years ago! My husband and I were struggling with infertility for three years before we were blessed with our miracle baby last October;)
Lindsay Hach that's amazing.
Congratulations Lindsay!! That is so awesome.
I tried for 12 yrs and finally unexpectedly got pregnant. Miscarried at 6 1/2 weeks. Devastated. 7 months later pregnant again. Miscarried at 5 1/2 weeks. I have a uterine anomaly that prevents me from carrying. I know that IVF isn't an option for me but I just wanted to say that you are giving one of the most precious gifts. God bless you and your family. You are so precious and selfless. And I truly know deep in my heart you are doing something so genuine and loving. I am praying for the family who receives this gift that they are able to start their healthy and happy family.
That's going to change someone's life! 😭 Good for you guys!
AlyssaAllDay I love your channel! ❤️
Right!? So amazing! They're so inspiring.
I literally cried.
Jacob and Mary Ainsworth awwwwww😭😭😭
AlyssaAllDay u
When I first heard that you were changing someone's life I thought that you were adopting!! Nevertheless, this is such an incredible thing you two are doing!! So happy and excited for all the families entering ❤️
Ikr!! They're amazing
We thought the same thing. I have so much respect for them and they are amazing people. I love how passionate they are about everything.
I thought that too
We thought the same thing!
Ikr!!! Love ur channel btw
I feel like such a proud mama seeing Ellie and Jared hitting 1M. I love you two and I love your family. I truly feel as if you two are a part of my daily life and I think of you as family. Whenever you are happy I am happy and you spread so much positivity and love to my family. thank you for being such a wonderful family.
You both are ABSOLUTELY amazing!! I FINALLY was able to get pregnant naturally after 2 years of infertility, but it was YOU both that gave me constant hope. When I was doubting if my husband and I could get pregnant, I went back to your first videos and regained that hope that it would happen for us. After a surgery, and years of infertility, it happened. God granted us our miracle angel that will be here in February. 9 weeks to go! Love you guys so much and all that you do!!
thats amazing! :) Congratulations!
Nikki Stein I am so happy for you!! 😘 congratulations xx

Great video you guys. It is a great thing you are doing for a family struggling with infertility. As we both know, it is a terrible thing to struggle with infertility. It is mentally, physically, and financially devastating. You are doing a wonderful thing here, and I am sure you are going to make a family very happy for the rest of their lives.
OMG yes, totally agree, and I love you guys matt and april!

I just lost my baby yesterday and passed the baby at home the ER sent me home the day before. This video has me in tears! My insurance doesnt cover any infertility. My wedding is on December 10th but ill be putting together a video with my soon to be husband. You guys are amazing.
ohGrPuppy i'm very sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you
You know how everyone is like "goals" "omg they're goals" ? You seriously are. You set such a good example for everyone that watches you. You bring nothing but positivity. Even when you guys go through a hard time, you guys prove that it is just a season and that you can overcome everything together as a family. Thank you for being so amazing.
I cried so hard. You are the most generous and beautiful people on Earth. God bless you both.
You two are the most selfless, loving, and giving people. What you are doing is amazing and you all deserve nothing but the BEST!!!!!! So much love
I can't stop crying! This is so wonderful! They haven't even picked a winner, and I'm already so happy for them! My husband and I have been on an infertility journey ourselves. We are not quite at the point of needing IVF but that's next if IUI doesn't work. God Bless whoever receives this! You are truly doing God's work.
this video made me cry! just to think about the family you will be blessing makes me feel so overwhelmed with joy for whoever they are! infertility is a huge part of our past, now with 4 beautiful children of our own we feel so totally blessed & give God the glory for it all 💛💛
I have longed to be a mother for a very long time. But because of my health I don't ever see that becoming a reality. I was a step mother, but then that got ripped away from me when my husband left me. So now being divorced, the longing for motherhood it not in my grasp and I cannot see how it will ever be in my future. With that said, I pray right now for the couple that you guys bless with this gracious gift. There are so many people out there that take being a parent for granted and sooo many people out in this world who would give anything to be a parent. This is the sweetest gift you could give someone. I honestly hope that the couple who receives this gift documents their journey. It would be amazing to hear and see the process. I have loved seeing your journey, and I do hope this couple shares their journey too.
Shari Tate you can be a mum goo for it get a new man and have one, or on your own, follow your dream
You got me through two years secondary infertility with my husband and then our 3 miscarriages on clomid treatment before it was discovered I have PCOS. Now hubby and I are parents to 3 beautiful children but I was completely broken after not being able to conceive again after we had our first baby. We never imagined we'd have another baby let alone 2 on fertility treatment! Thank you for posting your infertility journey.
Ellie and Jared....you guys are amazing. I am an ultrasound technician in south Arkansas. I see patients that struggle with infertility all the time. What you are doing is going to change someone's life in such an amazing way. Your channel has become a part of my husband and I's daily routine. Thank you so much for all that you do. We love you!
I have watched y'all from the start and still look forward to watching! Me and my husband have been trying for 3 years now and have been told IVF is our only option due to my tubes being blocked for when I got MRSA in my c-section. It is scary how expensive it is. We are not entering because we have already been blessed with our 4 year old and do not want to take an opportunity like this away from someone else. This is so amazing of you guys! God truly blessed each and every subscriber by allowing us to watch y'all. Love y'all Mecham family!
I just wanted to say thank you for helping others struggling with infertility! I came across your page while on instagram and not going to lie, cried like a baby when I watched this video. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. These last 2 years have been the hardest years of my life with struggling with infertility and losing my mom to cancer. My husband and I start IVF in January and I understand what a financial burden this is. I hope my husband and I have the same success as you two and that one day we can give back to others TTC. Good luck to everyone, can't wait to see all your journeys.
You both have the kindest hearts and the most giving souls. What you are doing is beyond the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Congrats to you and your family. You are so deserving of this. And how kind it is that you are providing the ultimate dream to a beautiful family.
We've been on a 10 year journey. I have PCOS and it took over 3 years to become pregnant. Midway through my pregnancy I had placental abruption, still don't know why that happened Our son was born sleeping on Oct 22nd. 19 months later our daughter joined him in Heaven. I started watching you guys while you were ttc Jackson. Love you guys and so excited for the family who gets this special grant.
You guys are so sweet. God will continue to bless you and your family for being so kind, loving, sweet and giving. You are amazing human beings.
I have tears in my eyes, as a 69 year old woman who had corrective dwarfism, I stopped growing at 35 inches with a very rare form of dwarfism I was very fortunate to get human growth hormone which at the time was only available to very few children, I was on HGH shots for 17 year and while I have shrunk an inch, I am 5' 4" not 35 inches. I couldn't have children, so I devoted my life to other people children. This gift is both stellar, and life changing and I think it's amazingly opportunity for the winner. The spirit of Christmas is indeed within in your hearts. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" You both exemplify that.
I'm full on bawling right now. I've been following your journey since the beginning and I've prayed for you so many times. I celebrated with you, cried with you. My husband and I have been trying for over 5 years so far with no luck. With each of your pregnancies I've celebrated every milestone as if it was my own. I'm so excited to apply.
I'm crying with the generous donation you are making. Coming from infertility, it just makes me so happy that you are helping someone's dream come true.
You guys are amazing! I cried, a lot.. We are going through IVF in January next year, after four years of infertility. I'm hoping that at the end of 2017 I can call myself a mother. Scared, exited, nervous, happy..all at once! I love you guys
Omg I just cried so much I'm in Canada and suffered infertility 3 years Ivf fails 2 times and 3 fails iui's now we have a beauty 15 month dd and expecting our son in Jan 4 losses nicu baby premie you guys are truly truly god send and I thank you fr the bottom of my heart for doing this for someone may God continue to bless your beautiful family I truly love you guys I wish I seen this more often and fr big TH-camrs also maybe this will also touch others to reach out to do the same or come together and chip in for another couple God bless
This is so wonderful! Such selfless, caring people deserve all the success they have gotten. I'm a little choked up and am so happy for whoever will receive this gift
It's always good to give back...Good Luck to everyone who applies!
I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first surrogate baby. Giving the gift of life to a family is the most amazing experience I have ever gotten the opporunity to live. Ellie and Jared are doing something truly selfless. I hope they will be able to be apart of the lives of the family they fund through their IVF process and pregnancy, and maybe the life of the baby.
Guys - I don't have fertility issues, but when you announced what you were doing, I immediately started crying. I have an incompetent cervix and it was very, very hard to carry this baby in my arms to full term. This is so amazing what you're doing! I don't think I've been a TH-cam channel give back on quite this scale. You guys are truly humble and truly down to earth...I love you!!
this is honestly the best thing i think i have ever seen. you guys havent not forgotten where you started, us or why you starting youtube vlogs. this is such a beautiful thing to do. i wish everyone who applies the best of luck
Just sobbed through this entire video! I'm an IVF success story..my parents were able to do IVF through my mother's job wayyyyy back in 1993 - which is crazy! But they ended up pregnant with triplets. 2 of us survived & IVF was the BIGGEST blessing for our family..I'm amazed at the way God is using you guys to give someone this opportunity! I love you guys!!!
I am so incredibly impressed. My husband and I did IVF and now have a 2 year old beautiful boy. You are so generous to gift this to someone. I adore your blog and your family. The world is a better place with you in it.
You guys are wonderful people. As someone who struggled with PCOS, you will change the financial burden of the gut wrenching journey of infertility. I have been blessed with 2 healthy babies, I wish the winner of this gift many blessings and a y dust. Thank you guys for never forgetting the families who struggle with infertility. To the women who are now struggling with their journey to be a mother; I pray for you every night.
I think it's amazing that you'd do this for a family struggling with infertility. My mom and dad struggled. They tried for so long to have a baby. Seven years, one miscarriage and one IVF treatment later my I was born and without that treatment I wouldn't be here today. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
i honestly cannot believe that there are such beautiful souls in this life like you. you are amazing.
my husband and i tried for 3 long years for a baby. and saved for 6 years for a house.
on feb this year we where blessed with our little boy , and in june we braught our house!!!
you are about to bring that miracle into someones life. a baby is a blessing and an incredible gift.
Wow that is such an amazing gift! My mom struggled with infertility for 10 years until she tried IVF and just a few months later my brothers and I were born:)
This is so beautiful!!! I'm in tears thinking of how you are helping someone's life change!
wow, there are so many tears flowing, you both are BEAUTIFUL people! What a great gift.
Currently balling right now. This is the most beautiful gift ever, period. I have no idea what it's like dealing with infertility, but I can't wait to see who wins and see the pure joy and thankfulness on their faces. I hope you keep in touch with the winner and show us how they're doing on their journey! And as always, prayers of healing and life more abundantly for those facing infertility.
What a beautiful and amazing gift you are going to give. People like you make the world a better place.
Aw you guys made me cry! You are so amazing to give someone this opportunity. My aunt had 13 miscarriages before she had my cousin, he was the only surviving baby of triplets and she had to have a complete hysterectomy after he was born. I'm so lucky to have my daughter between health issues and family history and I can't imagine life without her. I'm so glad you're giving someone the opportunity to experience what it's like to be a parent.
I first came across you guys when my husband and I started out infertility journey a couple of years ago. It was so comforting to find you and that I wasn't alone. Today we have our Calvin, and he's almost a year old. I wish I had the platform you did to help people. It's so amazing what you're doing. I love it! Thanks for sharing your lives, and your kindness.
Just when you think they can't get any sweeter they just they really do deserve all their blessings, they are the example of someone who worked hard and now CAN give back.
This is such an incredible gift. My wife and I used IVF to conceive our son. Our first round ended in losing twins. Our second round with frozen embryo transfer resulted in our son, who just turned 1 on December 1. IVF is a miracle. You guys are giving a miracle. Thank you for doing this for someone. So selfless and amazing.
I immediately started crying hearing him say it and had to go back and watch again like 5 times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. This is so so amazing. YOU both are so amazing! Thank you for being so giving. You are going to seriously change someone's life! Thank you thank you thank you!
You two are such beautiful souls! IVF is emotionally & physically taxing and the cost of it is just as stressful. Someone is going to be so incredibly blessed & appreciative of this. God bless you both! I just finished my second round of IVF and found out Friday it was successful! Two and a half years & my little baby is finally on it's way!
Why would you dislike this video? E + J are giving someone a life changing gift!
Was it normal to become emotional while watching this?! I love you guys, creative, caring and generous thinking guys.
Omg this is so amazing I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I only have one tube from a tubal pregnancy 4 years ago after surgery is was told there was a 50/50 Chance I couldn't have kids I got pregnant last year and I'm still in shock my daughter will be a year old next month and here I am pregnant and I love that you are doing this is hope that everyone gets through their journey I have been giving thought to be a surrogate to be able to give someone the blessing of life in couldn't get through typing this without crying baby dust to all families going through a tough patch in life keep a positive mind and have a blessed life
This is so INCREDIBLE!!! What an amazing gift :) My husband and I struggled with infertility for nearly two years. After all the struggles, fertility medication that never seemed to help, and two failed IUIs we decided it was time to move forward and look into IVF. We decided to take a month "off" from trying and just relax until our IVF consultation. One week prior to our appointment I found out I was pregnant!!! My husband and I were lucky enough not to have to go through all the struggles that come with IVF but even so, we knew we were going to be in for quite a journey. This gift you are offering to someone is going to change their lives for the better and I can only imagine how helpful this will be to whoever the lucky people are that win the contest! You two are amazing, inspiring, and generous. I cannot wait to see the all the contestants videos and follow the journey to come!
As someone whose suffered infertility for so many years this just gives me hope! I know it probably won't happen to me but it still gives you the little bit of hope. It's good to have hope when you're in these situations. Where so many times you've been disappointed as most infertile couples know. This Christmas Eve my husband and I are going on 9 years together 6 of them trying for a baby with no end in sight. If it's taught me anything its to be happy for stories like yours. Stories with hope and a positive outcome. Because even if it isn't today it will be one day. Thank you guys for being you. 💖💖
Such a touching gesture! Amazing people! My husband and I are so blessed to FINALLY be on a fertility medicine that works for myself😇 I had a miscarriage in August, but we are keeping faith it will happen in God's timing.
this is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. the fact that you guys want to help a person that you don't even know, have a baby just shows how caring and wonderful you 2 really are. thank you for caring so much.
I can't even begin to explain how you guys and your family are the most humble, caring family in this TH-cam industry! This video has made me cry in a ball of joy because you have a heart of pure gold. Amazing.
I just wanna say that y'all are some of the most giving and the nicest people I've ever known of! y'all are amazing and absolutely deserving of the amount of following you have! words can't express how grateful I am to be one of those million subscribers! thank you for being the people that I strive to be in my future, being a 14 year old girl, it's very amazing to be able to watch such an amazing family every day. so I want to say thank you for all you do❤! and good luck to all the entries!
I haven't had issues with fertility and this still has touched my heart. That is so beautiful that you all have done this!!!
Congratulations on 1m!!! You deserve it, I have been watching since the beginning and you have given me so much hope. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 10 years, our 6th miscarriage was in October this year. But we still have faith it will happen for us! Much love from Maine!!!!
I had goosebumps through this whole video guys. How wonderfully kind of you both.
I watch your videos all the way from Perth, Western Australia. My husband and I have been struggling with secondary unexplained infertility for over 2 years now. It is painfull, emotionally draining and just utterly heart wrenching to go through this journey. We are litterally at breaking point.
Well done to you both, I can feel you are going to make a families dream come true. xxx
Jess Buncey I'm so sorry and I hope you will be able to have children soon💖
I've been watching you guys for a while but have never commented. This just blew me away and I couldn't not comment. I've recently had three miscarriages and am about to start my own infertility journey so this really hit home and when you announced what you were doing I lost it. What a wonderful gift you are giving someone. You are such wonderful, beautiful, generous people and I truly feel blessed to be a part of your audience ❤️
You both have hearts of gold and I am so happy to watch you all daily. I found you when my husband and I went through surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and we were torn apart in feelings and reality!! Six months later we tried IUI and lost another... we battle insurances saying they don't cover an "elective" process, to watching cycles or no cycle hobby saving up for the medicine... your family and the others I watch have brought faith and strength back into our dreams! My husband and I have been married close to four years and we are trying the medicine again... fingers crossed and prayers be said please we find out if it worked this Christmas!!! Love you all!!
I and my husband was struggle about infertillity for 3 years and just got preg from IVF on May this years.
This is so blessing that all you do for others out there.
Love you guys wish you all and family have great things back return more!!!
As one who suffered from infertility, multiple miscarriages, 2 stillbirths and secondary infertility you are truly remarkable and have wonderful hearts♡ it's a VERY painful journey. Many prayers to you as you pick someone.
Jared and Ellie. I shared this on my facebook page today. And asked friends to do the same. Just never know who may see it and need help. Going to be an amazing next we weeks. God Bless you and your family. You are very blessed, because God sees all the wonderful things you do. And your pure loving hearts. I am so blessed that I found your channel and other's in your family.
I think this is an amazing gift you are offering. I personally have never struggled with infertility and have been blessed with 3 beautiful babies. I just want to wish good luck to all who enter, and thank you Ellie and Jared for helping give the gift of life for there most certainly is nothing better!!!
My daughter's name is Ellie. We lost our son, his name was Jack. I ordered one of your E&J shirts and wear it when I need to feel close to him. I also adore you and your family. Our children were born to another family and we adopted Ellie at birth. Jack didn't work out the same. My husband and I had a long journey through infertility. This gift is completely and totally generous. You are both so kind!!
my face is rolling with tears. you two have been hope for my husband and I since the beginning! you two are so amazing. my husband and have been trying for 8 years. we finally got the chance to be parents to out beautiful baby boy that we adopted when he was born. unfortunately we have been told we can't carry unless we receive IVF. we want more children and would love to have the opportunity to carry but we cannot afford. thanks for the hope ellie and Jared. I love watching your little family. thank you for the hope once again.
Oh man. You guys! What a wonderful and beautiful gift you are giving! What a blessing this will be to someone! Praying for everyone who watches who is struggling with infertility. My heart goes out to each of you.
Hello, sweet family! I'm 19 years old. I've been watching your vlogs for a year and a half. You change my whole worldview. I am so greatful to find you. I am so greatful to know that people like you excist. Wish you happiness and precious moments from the bottom of my heart! You made my world a better place. And I'm sure, i'm not the only one!
I'm so thankful for this world to have people like you two. Thank you so much in advance on behalf of whoever finally get your gift. You guys have such a big heart.
I think it is so amazing that you are doing this for someone! I struggle with infertility myself and after 2 years of treatments we were blessed with our daughter who is now 5. We tried for over 3 years for another baby but it doesn't seem like it is going to happen for us. I am very grateful for my healthy daughter! I hope this cycle that you are donating is successful and allows someone the chance to be a parent and to feel all the joys and proud moments that they've longed so much for! You guys are amazing!
I'm blessed to be a mom, and blessed again with our second that will be arriving in June. It breaks my heart to imagine all the wonderful childless parents who cannot take the first step in to having their own. Thank you for this wonderful gift. You will be changing the lives of wonderful parents.
Wow, this is incredibly grateful of you. I've been a sub of your channel for about 3 yrs now. We even came to the meet & greet in Seattle to meet you. I have dropped hints about my stories losing a little boy @ 20 weeks in utero, the grief that was so deeply hard to get over alone b/c individuals grieve very differently. I had no support from my babies boys dad. No one understood. It was a inconvenience for people to take the time to listen. They weren't walking my shoes. I only have a tiny green silk box with a few memento's & pictures. My memories of CONNOR who nobody had time to for. I felt lost and alone until the hospital realized how difficult it was and how much I struggled. I wanted to write you about my story but you haven't commented to one of the remarks I've shared. I have a rainbow baby who followed after conceiving 3 months after my loss. It's a long story hard story. Alee was at the meet and greet and I feel so blessed to have her. We met Jared (Ellie was sick). I didn't go into it. We want to become creators and this is why Due to financial hardship we won't be able to till early 2017, we hope. My little Alee weighed 2 lbs @ birth and together we sent over 230 days in the hospital. But God gave me the first and last girl I will ever have in this life. I'm so grateful. After losing Connor this is where my story began. I want to share & become a new creator in hoes of helping others. Schmitz Fam/Seattle💗💙
I hope and pray you get all you are wanting!!
I find myself sitting here crying. Your generosity is amazing. God Bless your family!!
You guys are two of the most caring youtubers! I have never struggled with infertility but I can't even imagine how much this would mean to someone struggling with infertility.
Now I'm in tears. You guys are incredible. Jared you said this is something simple you guys are doing, but the thing is this is such a life changing thing you both are doing for some couples life. Now let's see if I can get my spouse to not be camera shy. Been struggling with Infertility and a miscarriage for 3 & 1/2 years. With both male and female Infertility. Our biggest hope for us as well with I'm sure many others is IVF, and this is incredible that your helping a family that can't afford treatment to hopefully start there family. Sending virtual hugs to both of you. Your channel continues to send Hope to so many families.
Good luck to all who enter!!! I'm praying for you! Ellie and Jared your generosity to others is so sweet! Love you!!!
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your blessings. I don't need IVF, I can't imagine wanting children, not being able to conceive naturally, and also not being able to have the financial means to do something to help the process. But it heals my heart just a little bit to know there are such beautiful people as you all in the world.
youre amazing! ive been fortunate to be blessed with three healthy children and i cant imagine the heartache of struggling with infertility. what an amazing gift x
My heart overflows with joy watching this video. The reason you have so many blessings is because of things like this. You could so easily just keep to yourselves, and enjoy your wonderful little family, but your hearts are so kind and pure, and God rewards that. Even though I'm not entering the contest, thank you for doing this. You are giving someone the opportunity to have their dreams come true. I just love you guys!
im crying... you guys are so amazing.... I have been struggling for years to have a little one and a brother or sister for my 10yr old daughter. a year ago on the 1st I lost a baby at 17 weeks pregnant and found out I had PCOS and that now my chances the dr says it a very slim chance of having another without help. this whole week has been very hard and I have done nothing but cry every day and sad knowing that this would have been his/her first christmas
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for even thinking of doing this!! My husband and I just sent in the application and will be making the video portion tomorrow morning, we are SO excited for this!! We are hopeful even though thousands of other couples also deserve this. We love you guys and your big hearts!!!
What an amazing and heart felt gesture to do for someone. Ellie and Jared's generosity is something you see so few and far between nowadays. I wish there were more people like you all! Congrats on 1 million!
This made me cry happy tears. I don't suffer from infertility but I can imagine how difficult the struggle is. This is so awesome of y'all to do this for somebody! Y'all are beyond amazing!!!
