We've crossed oceans already for our babies because treatment in the States is so expensive. Instead, we went to Spain, where the doctors are skilled and have some of the latest technology.
Even with travel expenses, both of the cycles we've received so far wouldn't add up to one single cycle here. Unfortunately, these two cycles did not take. The grief we experienced with each one was indescribable, but we know that God has our children waiting with Him right now. We are confident in this hope.
We only have one single embryo left frozen and waiting across the world for us to try again. Our little bean.
My husband and I already have names for our children. We want to name them Evelyn because it means "wished for" or "desired," and Benjamin because it means "blessed son." They also are names which can be pronounced in Spanish and English, which is very important for us.
We have endured unimaginable heartbreak through this process that I wouldn't wish on anyone. The community has been a life saver for us. We all share the same desire: to meet our babies.
How we'll use the funds: Everything donated to our fundraiser would cover our next cycle of IVF, including all of the medications in addition to the cost of the treatment itself. I will both need to undergo blood testing again, so it will also go toward the cost of those tests. We also would like to undergo additional testing at the facility to improve our chances of successful implantation. Finally, it will cover the cost of any work missed for the cycle, any travel expenses.
If you've read this far, thank you. It means the world to us that you're even here rooting for us.
Sincerely,
Ashley & Brendon
