Campaign Story
A Dream of Motherhood: My IVF Journey and Why I Need Your Support
For years, I have been a loving stepmom and devoted aunt, cherishing the role of nurturing and guiding the children in my life. While I am grateful for these experiences, I have always longed to have a child of my own. Unfortunately, my journey to motherhood has not been easy.
After struggling to conceive for the past several years, I recently received devastating news from my doctor—I have a low egg reserve and poor egg quality, making natural conception nearly impossible. The only viable path forward is in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a process that offers hope but comes with significant financial burdens. While my insurance provides minimal coverage, the overwhelming majority of IVF costs, including medications, procedures, and multiple attempts if needed, must be paid out of pocket.
This journey is not just about me—it’s about the deep desire to bring a child into a loving and supportive home. I have spent years caring for children who are not biologically mine, and while I adore them, my heart aches for the chance to experience motherhood firsthand.
IVF is my only option to make this dream a reality, but I cannot do it alone. Any contribution, big or small, will bring me one step closer to holding my baby in my arms. Your generosity would mean the world to me, and I am beyond grateful for any support, whether through donations, sharing my story, or words of encouragement.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
