Help Us Start Our Family Through IVF

Hi, I’m Tamyka — and my wife Shaniqua and I are on a journey to build our family through IVF. After lots of research, appointments, and prayer, we’ve decided to move forward using my eggs and having Shaniqua carry. We’re beyond excited… but we didn’t expect it to come with such a heavy financial load, all due at the time of service.

I recently started birth control to begin prepping my body, and everything is lining up medically — but now, we’ve been told that $4,260 is due upfront next month, along with additional lab fees and $3,000–$5,000 for medication immediately after. That’s nearly $10,000 in total, due within weeks — and we simply can’t do it alone.

We’ve worked hard, saved what we can, and are applying for grants, but time is ticking. I’m in my late 30s, and every month counts when it comes to fertility. We’re trying to make this happen now while we still have the chance.

If you’re reading this and can donate — thank you. Truly.
If you can’t give, a share would mean just as much.
All support, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to holding our baby in our arms.

This is our dream. We just need a little help getting there.
With love,
Tamyka & Shaniqua
