this morning standing here, we want
every couple, every couple in this
community to have a child and children
should be able to have that. This giving
hand organization is making that
possible. Maya and Golda, what you two
have built is a legacy forever.
>> Each one of you here today is part of
something much bigger than a breakfast,
bigger than even a cause. You are part
of building futures. But before I was a
founder, I was just a husband. A husband
praying every single day, hoping and
waiting for a miracle. For nearly 7
years, my wife Gold and I have faced the
painful, lonely struggle of infertility.
But some nights you find yourself in the
parking lot of yet another doctor's
office and crying. This is what
infertility looks like. This journey is
painful, isolating, and for many,
completely unaffordable. We started this
organization with one goal. To make sure
no Jewish couple ever has to choose
between financial stability and a chance
to build a family. Our mission was never
just to write checks. It was to hold
hearts. To whisper, "You're not alone."
to say we believe in your dream and
we're going to fight it with you.
>> Without the dedication,
heart and vision of Meer and Gold, you
are more than just founders. You are
angels. And the pain is so intense which
is what makes Mayer and Golder so
ridiculous
because Maya and Gold Eagle Clap Mayer
and Golder take
their own pain and not only comfortable
to talk about their story but they said
let's bring somebody else into our story
and their openness their vulnerability
their sense of sharing is so powerful
which is what makes this morning our
responsibility. Our responsibility here
this morning is to step up and look at
this couple and say, "You know what?
You're not alone. You shared with us.
We're going to share with you so that
you could share with them."
Oh, it's so much deeper than having a
baby.
It's having everything.
The baby doesn't stay 6 months or six
years. The baby turns into a teenager.
The baby turn gets married. The baby has
children of her own or of his own. The
baby turns into a family. The baby turns
into grandchildren. The baby turns into
your legacy on this earth. Not just a
baby to play toys with, which is
phenomenal, but it's so much more than
that. That's 46 cribs filled, 46
lullabies sung, and 46 families who now
know the joy they once feared they never
have. And it doesn't stop there. Another
24 couples are currently expecting. 24
more miracles on the way. Each of those
stories began with a yes. Each child
exists because someone, maybe one of you
sitting here today right now, said, "I
want to be part of this." And I want to
give. When a group of warriors stand
together, there's no way that Hashem
won't bless them with success.
