Their story

Wanting to be a mom has been my dream. When I was told that it would be impossible for me to have children I gave up on the thought of it. Then, against the odds, I was pregnant in December of 2020. William was born on July 15 2021. He just celebrated his fifth birthday. I am beyond grateful for him and love him more than words can explain. I always pictured a bigger family. William asks for a baby now and then which makes this journey even more emotional for us. Due to PCOS, expanding our family has been far harder than we imagined. In the past year we've gone through many appointments, tests, medications, and facing heartbreak from loss and unsuccessful cycles. Having exhausted other options, our specialist recommends IVF as our best chance. Unfortunately, IVF brings high costs. Even with insurance, many expenses—from medications to embryo transfer—are out-of-pocket. Asking for help is incredibly difficult. We are reaching out to ask for support to help cover the out-of-pocket costs of IVF. Every donation, no matter the amount, goes directly toward giving William the chance to be a big brother. If you can't donate, sharing our story or keeping us in your thoughts means just as much. Thank you for reading and supporting us in any way you can.
