Welcome to the Pineapple Squad. We’re here for infertility support and awareness.

05/13/2026

National infertility awareness week is behind us, but for the 1 in 6, it's important that we keep the momentum going.

Pineapple Squad was founded to create community and a space where those struggling with infertility felt safe and connected with others that understood their journey. In addition to that mission we also focus on making it easier to get access to valuable resources that could have a great impact on their journey.

We would love your support in continuing our mission and would love to invite you to donate $6 monthly on an ongoing basis to help support that 1 in 6 that needs the community and resources we offer. This would allow us to continue to maintain and grow all the wonderful services we provide.

For less than $75 a year you can have a large impact on how we support the community and help us ensure that no one has to walk this journey alone. (BONUS - $10 will be donated to our organization for each recurring donation we receive between May 13th and 15th)

What can $75 do? A whole lot....

It can cover a therapist led workshop for an individual
It can cover the event cost for up to 3 individuals
It can help us provide care packages for up to 5 individuals & so much more.

Today marks the start of National Infertility Awareness Week and this year’s theme, , is a powerful reminder that no one walks this path alone.
At Pineapple Squad, that message is deeply personal.

Our Founder & Executive Director, Heather Martinez, was diagnosed as infertile after more than a decade of marriage. On paper, everything looked fine—but month after month, pregnancy never came. In 2017, she began fertility treatment, stepping into a world that often felt isolating and overwhelming.

Very early on, Heather realized something was missing: community.

What started as a small group of women gathering for dinner became a space for connection, understanding, and support. That small circle grew into a support group—and eventually into Pineapple Squad, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing resources, community, and hope to those navigating infertility.

Because infertility is more than a diagnosis.

It’s more than appointments, treatments, and waiting.

It’s about connection, resilience, and making sure no one feels alone in their story.
This week, we honor every journey—and every person behind it. 💛

04/18/2026

We’re excited to share that our Founder & Executive Director will be speaking at The Stork Foundation for Infertility’s Brunch for Hope tomorrow in Chicago.

This incredible event brings together a compassionate community dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating infertility, while also expanding access to care through fertility grants.

She’ll be joining a panel on resilience in fertility, exploring the heart, science, and community behind the journey.

If you’re in the Chicago area, we’d love for you to join and be part of this meaningful conversation.

We are also proud to welcome Dr. Charles Miller of CCRM, whose decades of experience and dedication to patient-centered care continue to make a meaningful impact in the field of reproductive medicine. And Lana Manikowski—podcaster, coach, and author—who brings a powerful perspective helping others navigate infertility with resilience, advocacy, and hope.

Our “Voices of Hope” panel will feature deeply personal and inspiring stories from Ali Sintic, Julie Ferguson, and Kelly Stach. Through their lived experiences, they remind us of the strength, vulnerability, and connection that exists within this community.

Together, these speakers represent expertise, compassion, and real stories that matter. We are so excited for our community to learn, connect, and feel supported through every part of this event.
