Their story

I am a visual artist that is inspired by nature, the cosmos and unknown. After 3 miscarriages over the years, we are going the IVF route and trying to fundraise for this crazy expensive process. I have never thought it was going to be this difficult to keep a pregnancy in my 40s.  We did get married a bit later in life and I  suppose it took us awhile to find each other. I thought maybe we could finance  and take a loan but the interests rate are in the teens and have to pay everything up front. Sigh... I understand we are all trying to survive the day to day, the crazy world, and life's challenges/  hardships... so I appreciate the support. You can  support by buying a new released limited edition print on my website shop at christine nguyen (dot) art Thank you! Christine
