Their story

Hello! We are Ryan and Lauren, and we are trying to fundraise for the chance for us to have our lifetime dream....to be parents. We have been trying consecutively for 7 years, and have to be on hold until we can cover IVF treatments. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and was diagnosed at age 24. I also have a high FSH that limits me to what procedures I can be successful on. We are 33 and 35 now so time is getting closer for it to be harder to have a successful IVF cycle. We both work in the government sector of our city, and neither of our insurances cover IVF treatments or medicines. We have done a couple cycles of IUI, but because of OHSS, it was recommended we discontinue doing IUI for any worsening risks that could happen every time we try. We have a very small support circle consisting of a few friends, and my mom who is elderly, and who I would love give her the chance to enjoy her last grandbaby while she is still here on earth. We have tried to save as much as possible, but with life sometimes setbacks happen. Please help us achieve this dream we have yearned for so long. In times like these we understand that giving can be hard, so no matter how small the gift, we appreciate whatever generous donation you make to help us in this journey. Thank you so much and God bless!
