Our journey to becoming parents has been one of the longest, hardest, and most heartbreaking journeys of our lives. ❤️ Tristan and I have been together since 2013, married since 2024, and have spent over 8 years hoping, praying, and trying to grow our family. Becoming parents is something we have dreamed of for as long as we can remember. After years of trying, we finally began working with a fertility clinic. While we have found some answers, we have also learned that our road to parenthood will require IVF. What your support covers: The hardest part has been learning just how expensive this journey truly is. Our first IVF round is estimated at approximately $40,000, with additional rounds potentially costing thousands more. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover everything we need, and the costs of testing, appointments, medications, and treatment keep adding up. We are now looking into fertility grants to help make this dream possible, but even applying for assistance can come with financial barriers of its own. We are creating this fundraiser to help cover fertility grant application fees and other expenses associated with pursuing IVF. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to the family we have prayed so long for. If you are unable to donate, sharing our story, sending prayers, or simply cheering us on means more than you will ever know.
