Becoming a mother is something I truly hope to experience one day. Receiving my diagnosis has made me think more seriously about my future and the possibility of having children. Knowing that my upcoming surgery may affect my ability to become pregnant and carry a pregnancy has been difficult. I want to give myself every opportunity to experience motherhood, and receiving this grant would mean so much to me. How we'll use the funds: This grant would help cover fertility consultations, testing, and any recommended fertility preservation or reproductive treatments. Having this financial assistance would allow me to explore my options before undergoing surgery and give me a better opportunity to become a mother.
