Their story

Neither one of us thought we could be this happy, then we met each other and found true love and commitment. We know we want to share the love and safety of our home with a child but it’s been a challenging road. We’ve been married for just four years, survived a pandemic, and a year of IUI attempts. Now in our late 30’s, pregnancy is becoming more dream-like and urgent with each passing month. Please support us in our journey to become parents. Specifically, we are fundraising for all related IVF procedures and donor sperm—all elements uninsured by my health plan.

The journey will be a long one

Resting in uncertainty is so challenging! Each day adds a little more to our story but the easy IVF road, if there is one, has not been laid before us. Thank you to each and everyone who has donated. We literally would not be where we are without you. But we now know we will need multiple treatment rounds. We remain on our journey, asking for continued prayers and financial support. Please consider both when we come to mind.

Facing this yourself? Start a fundraiser or apply for the grant.
