If you know me, you know that becoming a mother has always been one of my biggest dreams. At just 25 years old, I never imagined I would be facing decisions about preserving my fertility. Unfortunately, after years of medical testing, my doctors have found that my ovarian reserve is significantly lower than expected for my age. I've been advised that waiting much longer to preserve my eggs could greatly reduce my chances of having biological children in the future. The hardest part is that while my husband and I know this is the right time medically, we're simply not in a place financially where we can move forward on our own. The first step requires a $2,500 deposit to begin the egg freezing process, and we're racing against something we can't control: time. Asking for help is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I've always believed that if we worked hard enough, we could figure it out ourselves. But fertility doesn't wait until life is financially convenient. This fundraiser isn't about having a baby today. It's about preserving the chance to have one tomorrow. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps protect the possibility of one day building the family we've always dreamed of. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family would mean more than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for your kindness, and for helping us keep the door to parenthood open.
