Blessed Brokenness WITH THEIR PRAYERS ANSWERED AND THEIR FAM- ILY COMPLETE, ALLYSON AND LEWIS DECIDED THEY WANTED TO SHARE THEIR STORY AND HELP OTHER COUPLES DEALING WITH INFERTILITY. “For most people, fertility is not only a burden due to heartache,” Allyson says, “but also a financial burden.” The couple were in a position to give. During a conversation with Dr. Long and Nurse-Practitioner Karen Hammond, Karen mentioned she was on the board of a nonprofit organization called Blessed Brokenness. The organization began three years ago when Ann Adams wrote a curriculum called “A Blessed Womb,” which was designed to shine the light of Christ into brokenness. Mallory Wear was in the first “A Blessed Womb” study group, and the pair immediately hit it off. Allyson met with Ann and Mallory, and their connection was instantaneous. All three women were dedicated to helping other couples struggling with fertility. Ann is co-founder and president, Mallory is co-founder and Executive Director of Strategy and Business Development, and Allyson is Executive Director of Communications and Donor Development. They serve more than 100 women through small groups, and plan to expand the curriculum to cover topics such as marriage, postpartum anxiety and depression, and infant loss. Their second goal is to offer financial assistance to married couples who could use support with the high cost of fertility treatments. The organization solicits support from individuals and companies and also apply for grants. Blessed Brokenness is currently establishing criteria for couples to apply for financial assistance, and they anticipate that applications will be accepted starting in fall <strong>2019</strong>. An anonymous committee (not including the three of them) will review the applications.
