For the past seven years, Kenny and I have been praying, hoping, and trying to grow our family. Unfortunately, our journey to parenthood has been filled with challenges and heartbreak. We have tried to conceive naturally, with fertility medications, and through two rounds of IUI, both of which were unsuccessful. Even through the disappointment, our hope of becoming parents has never gone away.
Our faith in God has been an important part of this journey. We believe He has a plan for our lives, even when the path ahead is difficult to understand. We have continued to pray for the opportunity to become parents, and now we are taking a leap of faith as we pursue the next step in our journey.
In October 2027, we hope to travel to Cancun, Mexico, to pursue IVF with Ingenes Fertility Clinic. This is an exciting step for us, but the financial reality of fertility treatment is overwhelming. The IVF treatment itself is expected to cost about $25,000, with additional travel and related expenses. We are starting this fundraiser early because we need time to prepare and raise the funds needed to be ready for that treatment timeline.
Support from this fundraiser will help cover the IVF process, including medications, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, embryo freezing, as well as travel costs. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to this opportunity and help ease the financial pressure of pursuing treatment.
If you are not able to donate, sharing our fundraiser with your friends and family, your church, or your small groups would mean so much to us. We would also be deeply grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and kind words along the way. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us in whatever way you can. After seven years of hoping and praying, we are holding on to faith that this next chapter may bring us closer to the family we have dreamed of building.
We know that not everyone is in a position to give, and we never want anyone to feel pressured. We are grateful for every prayer, every share, every kind word, and every bit of encouragement along the way. We believe in the power of prayer and the kindness of a community coming together to help others. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for supporting us in whatever way you can, and for being part of this journey with us. After seven years of hoping and praying, we're holding on to faith that this next chapter may bring us closer to the family we've dreamed of building.
With love, faith, and gratitude, thank you for being part of our journey.
