My name is Ashley and I have been on a deeply personal journey to become a single mother by choice. For the past four years, I have been navigating the challenging and emotional path of fertility treatments. My resilience has been recently tested like never before, having had back-to-back miscarriages and the profound loss of a parent—all within just six months. Despite these heart-wrenching setbacks, I am trying to remain hopeful and committed to my dream of building a family. I am trying to give the next few months my all in my last attempts to welcome a child into my life, and possibly a sibling in the future. Understanding the uncertainties ahead, I don't have a ton of financial capital for a lot of options so while trying to keep all my options open, including the possibility of embryo or egg donation, I am humbling trying a small fundraiser, no pressure at all but I thought it wouldn't hurt.
