Carlos Rodon and Ashley expand parenthood access through heartfelt "Willow Grant" initiative

Last year, Carlos Rodon and Ashley instituted Willow Grant, named after their firstborn daughter, Willow, to benefit those families aspiring to become parents.

The couple visited Kindbody clinic, where they were inspired by the incredible team of professionals working to help families grow. The couple posted about their experience on social media. Rodon wrote:

"Ashley and I loved visiting a @kindbody clinic and meeting the incredible team helping families grow. I know the importance of having a great team.

"For that reason, we’re honored to offer Willow Grants as an option to eligible patients on the path to parenthood. Infertility is hard enough, and we believe finances shouldn’t be the barrier."

Applications for the Willow Grant are now open, with Carlos encouraging those in need to apply via the link in their bio.

The Willow Grant was founded after Carlos Rodon and Ashley went through their own troubles to become parents. They sought help from medical professionals and even set an IVF appointment before the couple realized that Ashley was pregnant with Willow.

Although they conceived naturally, their experience left them with a goal to help other families in terms of financial assistance, given that IVF treatments are expensive.
