Hello My name is Ashley and my husband is Marcus. I suffered two ectopic pregnancies in my early twenties which resulted in both of my tubes being removed. We are going through IVF in hoping to start a family. The financial and emotional toll of this treatment has been a challenge, but we remain hopeful that we will see success on this long journey. In order to start the IVF process we need to raise money for our medical expenses. IVF is not covered by insurance and we are paying out of pocket. In the spirit of "it takes a village," we are humbly reaching out to our amazing friends and family for any assistance you all could contribute to help offset the extra costs associated with IVF (cost of medical testing, procedures, medications, embryo testing, and travel to the out of state clinic). Time is not on our side with this IVF journey, so this requires us to act fast, so the typical waiting until we save up enough for everything would significantly hamper our chances of success. With your help Marcus and I can get one step closer to starting a family. We greatly appreciate any dollar you can donate and are looking forward to all of your help. We thank you for your consideration and contribution. We love you all and hope that this journey will finally give us our miracle baby. With love and gratitude, Ashley and Marcus
