Campaign Story

Hi, we’re a married couple deeply in love, and we’re hoping to grow our family through reciprocal IVF.

For a long time, I didn’t believe motherhood would be part of my story. In a past relationship, I helped raise a wonderful little boy and was promised we’d have a child of our own. That promise was never fulfilled. I stayed connected to the child, but when the relationship ended, so did my role in his life—and that heartbreak cut deep. Over time, I started to believe motherhood wasn’t meant for me.

Then I met my wife, my best friend, my person. For the first time, I felt truly seen and loved by someone who shares my dream of building a family. Being married to someone who wants this as much as I do changed everything. We talk about baby names, read parenting books, and imagine our future—not just as wives, but as moms.

Reciprocal IVF allows us both to be part of the process—one of us providing the egg, the other carrying our baby. It’s a beautiful path, but also an expensive one. I’m currently in grad school pursuing my master’s degree in education, and working full-time as a teacher. My wife supports us in every way she can, but IVF comes with high costs we simply can’t afford on our own.

We’re reaching out to ask for help—not just to cover the cost of treatment, but to help bring our dream to life. We’re ready to be moms. We’ve built a strong, loving marriage, and all that’s missing is the child we know will complete our family.

Every dollar brings us closer to holding our baby. If you can give, thank you. If you can share, thank you. And if you’re simply sending love, thank you.

With all our hearts,
Natoya and Katrina
