Our IVF Journey: Helping William Become a Big Brother

Donation Protected Honolulu HIJul 13, 2026
For a little over a year we tried for a baby. Wanting to be a mom has been my dream. Month after month brought disappointment, but we never gave up hope. Then, against the odds, we were blessed with our miracle, William. On July 15, he'll celebrate his fifth birthday, and every day we're grateful for the joy he's brought to our lives.
We always pictured a bigger family. William now often asks for a sibling, which makes this journey even more emotional for us.
We never expected to face secondary infertility. Due to PCOS, expanding our family has been far harder than we imagined. We conceived William without treatment, but that's not our experience now. In recent years, we've endured many appointments, tests, medications, and procedures, 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, but we've reached a point where we can't do this alone. We are reaching out to ask for financial support to help cover the out-of-pocket costs of IVF. Every donation, no matter the amount, goes directly toward giving William the sibling he has wished for and helps us complete our family.
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.
With love and gratitude,
Meghan, Benjamin & William
