Why we built HopeNest
HopeNest was started by Kevin and Patricia, a husband and wife in Gurnee, Illinois, who are walking the family-building path themselves.
Who we are
Kevin is a software engineer. Patricia is his wife and partner in this journey. We are going through the fertility process right now, with the appointments, the costs, the paperwork and the waiting that come with it. We are both people of faith, and we walk this road with hope and prayer. Whatever your story or beliefs, you are welcome here.
Why HopeNest exists
Somewhere between the clinic portals, insurance calls, receipts and notes on our phones, the engineer in Kevin thought: we need one place to store this information, track what is happening and keep it all straight. After some thinking and planning, HopeNest was created on September 28, 2026, from Gurnee, Illinois.
