How we work
Ella Rose Memorial Grant
Building a community
Guidance
It Takes a Herd, founded in 2020, is an initiative to raise awareness about infertility and surrogacy. Our goal is to educate people about this common health issue and its impact on individuals and relationships. We want to assure people that infertility is not the end of their journey toward parenthood and that there are many paths to achieving this goal.
Through our grant program, we provide financial resources to those currently undergoing fertility treatment or facing the many expenses associated with surrogacy. Our mission is to foster a friendly, empathetic community that provides emotional support, informational resources, and a general sense of “you are not alone.”

Diane’s Story
I always thought I would be a young grandmother. I have four daughters. Two of them were born when I was very young. My oldest daughter decided not to have children and my second daughter died in a car accident when she was 17. Then, in my sixties, my third daughter Jennifer decided to have a baby. I thought my dream was finally coming true!
Father’s Day
My name is Chris, and I am a co-founder of It Takes a Herd. This upcoming weekend, some will celebrate Father’s Day with their dad by their side. While for others, this day can bring sadness and complicated emotions. My wife & I have struggled through infertility, multiple pregnancy losses, and one stillbirth. I’d like to take a moment to share my story.
