It took a village. Three women built one. 🩷
In 2020 I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer before I’d had the chance to become a mom. Treatment meant IVF, one embryo, and the news I’d need a surrogate — at a cost of $150,000, with none of the financial support oncology patients deserve.
So two other survivors, Victoria Raphael and Ann Palmer, and I googled how to start a nonprofit, filled the chip dip at our own fundraisers, and bootstrapped A Chance For Life from nothing.
My son, Chance, arrived in December 2023 — months after we awarded our first grant.
This summer, our first grant recipients, Rusty and Christina, welcomed their daughter Stella after a two-year wait for the right surrogate. Every dollar donated helped make that happen.
We were three women who turned pain into purpose. And we won’t rest until every woman gets her Chance.

To think that a woman with cancer has to give up her dream of having a baby because she cannot afford surrogacy is just heartbreaking 😢
