Their story

My name is Charity, and My husband Johnathan and I have been trying to conceive since we got married in October 2018, now 6 years.  I have endometriosis (common problem, tissue grows outside the uterus), MTHFR (a clotting disorder), and some fallopian tube blockage on one side. I have been a teacher 10 years and a child developmental therapist for 7 years, as I absolutely love children and finding ways to help them and their parents have a great start and future. But I was meant to be a mom as well. Our doctor is confident IVF is how we can have a successful pregnancy to make this lifelong dream become reality. Our journey has been slow due to financial strains and thus lots of time between the few treatments we have been able to do. We have done IUI (intrauterine insemination) but have not yet had success. Now, as I am 43, and my husband is 46, though he has 2 older children from his previous marriage, we know it time to take the leap of faith and do IVF. I hope to one day have the same joys of being a parent to my own child I have thought of all of my life. We are asking you to help us at this point in our journey, as it is time to wait no longer. We are seeking assistance with the financial burden of In vitro Fertility treatment, and we would be blessed and honored if you could help us. Even small amounts would mean the world to us and help me finish the journey of becoming a mother. Thank you for listening! ~The Jelley Family (praying for our Hannah Grace)
