Hey y'all! My name is Karla and I am fundraising for IVF with an open heart. My husband and I's journey to parenthood have not been easy, and IVF is the only path we have moving forward due to me no longer having my fallopian tubes. While IVF offers the only chance to build the family we've always dreamed of, the cost of treatment and medications is significant and largely uncovered by our insurance. Starting this fundraiser was not an easy decision. I am a very private person and asking for help around infertility is something that I had struggled with, but the decision to move ahead was a decision made with hope. Any support- whether through a donation, sharing my fundraiser, or words of encouragement- helps make this journey possible and means more to us than you will ever know! Thank you for taking the time to read my short story and for supporting us in any way you're able to. We are just hoping for a little heartbeat!
