The Midsummer Dream Grant
Goddess Flora fresco, symbol of fertility and abundance
In grateful celebration of the upcoming birth of our daughter, we have established The Midsummer Dream Grant, a financial grant from the Mintz and Westphal families in conjunction with Baby Quest Foundation.
Our path included egg freezing, ten rounds of egg retrievals and IVF, a fatal genetic disease carrier diagnosis, multiple surrogates, experimental procedures, and consultations with specialists across the country. Against all odds, we managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with one single embryo. With our astronomical struggle in mind, we created this grant to support another family on their uncertain path to parenthood. The Midsummer Dream Grant is dedicated to helping those in need of IVF, surrogacy, and/or rare genetic disease screening—so they, too, may have the chance to experience the gift of parenthood.
We know firsthand how challenging this journey can be, but we also believe in the power of generosity, hope, and unwavering perseverance. This grant is our way of helping another family take a step closer to their own long-awaited dream.
In lieu of a gift, please consider donating to The Midsummer Dream Grant to help make this dream possible for someone else.
The selection process will occur over the summer with an announcement of the recipient in early fall. We look forward to sharing information on the family you have helped.
