Their story

How we'll use the funds: The process to start our IVF journey Our journey so far- we had to endure 3 losses. 2 ectopic pregnancies and I miscarriage. Living with stage 4 Endometriosis in itself is hard to go through but being told ivf is the only option my husband and I can do to start our own family has been the hardest pill to swallow. Being 29 and my husband 34 we have been ready for a baby ever since we got married in 2018. What this would mean to us- the world. I've always wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember and finally getting married to my best friend, I thought that journey would come quickly but it all went downhill. I would love nothing in this world then to bring a little one us us into the world and to grow our family. My husband's mother got diagnosed with ALS 3 years ago and I would love for her to meet a grand baby from us while she is still here on earth. What your support covers- Our journey to start the ivf program, medication, appointments, ext. And to save the only hope I have left. Knowing unfortunately none of my insurance covers any infertility and everything coming out of pocket would take a toll on us financially, emotionally, and mentally. Any support would be appreciated from the bottom of our hearts!
