Their story

When I had my last baby boy, who just turned 13, my husband and I had been trying for years after to have another baby and for the life of us we couldn’t figure out why we weren’t conceiving. It wasn’t until hurricane Michael hit Panama City Fl that we found out my doctor who is deceased had tied my tubes after my delivery. I’ve tried so hard to find doctors attorneys everything to help me untie my tubes, I’m not rich but I’m stable and 8-10 thousand dollars is a lot to spare when I have the kids to care for. The worse part of it all my husband left me due to us not being able to conceive, don’t worry I’m remarried and my husband now wants kids and I’m not sure how to tell him I can’t give him a child right now. I’m hopeless out of options and need help. I’m still not as wealthy to pay for the procedure but I have enough to care and love another baby. Ok back to my story all the doctors and attorneys I’ve found cost money I can’t afford. I’ve tried doing these before and still came out with no luck I just want to be able to be fruitful like my bible says and it was NEVER in my consent to have my tubes tied. It hurts that I’ve been remarried for going on three years after being divorced 10years now and I can’t give my husband kids I fear the lost of loosing him if I tell him the truth and I fear loosing him if I can’t give him the children he longs for he has none. The stress of trying looking for resources and help is really killing me literally. My truths I don’t have a fancy story to tell to convince people of my pain and betrayal from a doctor that delivered all my kids a doctor I was seeing before I started having kids and the fact he knew my religion and went and did such an act without my consent or knowledge is just wrong and now 13years of trying to find genuine help is ridiculous and then every time I do one of these grants I get shut down and it makes me hate opening up. I miss being able to smell a newborn hold one the whole process of motherhood.
