To our dear family and friends,

Many of you have walked beside us through the ups and downs of life, sharing in our joys, supporting us in our challenges, and holding us close when we needed it most. Over the years, we’ve grown individually and as a couple, building a foundation of love, resilience, and hope.

For the past three years, Brian and I have been navigating the challenging journey with infertility—a path filled with both valleys and peaks.

With lots of doctor appointments, multiple tests & three rounds of fertility treatments, specialist have told us that our best chance of growing our family lies with IVF. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover the cost, and financial constraints have made this next step difficult.

This process has been heartbreaking, and there have been moments when our hope felt like it was slipping away. In those times, we have leaned on the love and support of others to hold onto hope for us when it felt too heavy to carry alone. Even in the uncertainty, we are reminded that hope can shine brightest in the darkest moments, lighting the way forward.

Through this season of waiting, we have come to see the incredible strength that hope provides, especially when it is shared. From this, the idea of "Hold the Hope" was born—It is more than a phrase; it’s an invitation. It is a way for you—our loved ones—to walk with us, to help carry the hope when it feels too heavy for us alone, and to remind us that we’re not on this journey by ourselves.

True strength lies in vulnerability. By opening and sharing this deeply personal part of our lives, we hope to connect more meaningfully with those around us and invite you into our story. It is not always easy—fear and uncertainty often walk beside us—but we’ve come to understand that the only way to move forward is to face it, together. To inspire faith in the possibility of brighter days ahead.

To help make our dream of becoming parents a reality, we have poured our hearts into creating something special. Together, Brian and I have designed a limited-edition collection of handmade gemstone necklaces. Each piece is carefully tied with intention and love—a symbol of resilience, faith, and the incredible power of community. Every necklace purchased will bring us one step closer to growing our family.

We cannot begin to express how your love and support mean to us. You are our light in this journey, and your belief in us fills our hearts with gratitude. Thank you for holding the hope with us, for standing with us, and for reminding us that even in the face of challenges, dreams can still bloom.

With all our love and hope,
Nora & Brian
