Owner and Founder
Hi! My name is Tia Daugharty, and I am the Owner and Founder of Vision of Faith. Due to a gun accident at a babysitters home, I have been rolling (versus walking) through life since the age of seven. I feel very blessed to be alive and in good health. I am currently 28 years old, and very happily married to Kenneth Daugharty. I have two children from a previous marriage, Mikayia (9), and Maleak (7). Kenneth and I were married on February 16, 2006. My tubal ligation was performed on October 30, 2001 after Maleak's birth. Although I wasn't in favor of the idea, the marriage was not a stable one. Eventually, we divorced and I knew I could finally restore my fertility. God blessed my husband and I with the tubal reversal on May 5, 2006. I have close to 5cm on both sidest. After saving for my own surgery, I realized how much I wanted to help other families become whole and find a way to more easily afford their surgeries. A few months later, I was able to open up the support group for Visions on Yahoo. A few more months later, we have opened website and later on funding for ladies started. I am so thankful to God that He provided a way for this to happen. Kenneth and I have been blessed with 2 TR miracles that ended in miscarriages. We are proud to announce we are expecting our 1st TR baby in December 2009!! We are so thankful to God and still in shock. E-mail Contact: Tiadaugharty@vision-of-faith.org

My name is Heather Walter. I am 30 years old. I have been with Chris for 12 years and married to him for 7 of them. I have 2 sons from a previous marriage, Brandon age 15, and Cody 12. I have 2 daughters with Chris, Shalyssa age 10, Tyja age 8, and one son, Chris Jr (aka Cj) born on September 9, 2008, our first TR miracle. I had my TL in 2001, 1 year after my youngest daughter was born. We did it because everyone said we had enough kids, and because we honestly didn't know how we would support any more. I remember the doctor asking me if I was sure I wanted it done and I wanted to say no, but I said yes and had it done. I have always regretted the decision. By 2004 I finally admitted that I wanted more children. I researched adoption and IVF, but they were both so expensive that I didn't think it would ever happen, so I put it all on the back burner yet again. Somewhere around mid 2006 I started researching Tubal reversals. I found Vision of Faith and fell in love immediately with the whole group! By recommendation I decided to use Dr. Perez in Mexico for my reversal and had it done on 11/17/2006. We went through quite the ringer with TTC. Six months after my reversal I had an HSG done, which showed wide open tubes. The next month Chris had a semen analysis done, which showed he was sterile. As you can imagine, news like that turns your whole world upside down. But we continued to pray and did some research on natural supplements for building up sperm counts and began the recommended treatments. We resolved in our hearts that we may never get pregnant, deciding that if it didn't happen, it just wasn't meant to be. Seven months later we were very surprised and blessed to have a BFP and 9 months after that our son was born, completing our family.

My name is LaKisha Epps and I am a 30 year old mother of 5. During my pregnancy with my twins in 2003, I decided that it would be best to have my tubes tied since I was not in a very good relationship. Immediately after having the TL, I felt incomplete but figured that there was nothing I could do about it. As time passed, the idea of not being able to conceive played really hard on me. In 2005, I started doing research on having my tubal reversed. I had gone back and forth about having it done and getting the funds together, but towards the end of 2005 I had made up my mind! It was time to fix a mistake that I made. In 2006, I had started the planning to get my TR. I initially decided to go with a Dr in NC, but a friend of mine that I met in a TR yahoo support group, told me about Dr. Perez. I immediately started my research on him and joined his website for support. I was amazed at the support his group offered and was convinced that I was lead to that site for a reason. On 11/11/2006, I had my TR and it was the best experience ever. Shortly after my TR, I met Tia and she told me about VOF. I joined and have been here ever since. After my TR, we conceived our first miracle that ended shortly after in a miscarriage. I was devastated. The madness of TTC went on for months, at which point, I decided that it just wasn't meant to be. I decided that I would focus on losing some weight. One month into my weight loss mission, I found out that I was expecting! Shock and utter amazement would be an understatement. I am currently 8.5 months pregnant with my 1st successful TR miracle. I thank the ladies of VOF for supporting me through all the madness of TTC and even when I lost all hope!
