Campaign Story

My name is Crystal and I have one functioning ovary, that needs help through treatments to grow strong eggs. I have gone through two failed IVFs, which was a significant financial burden on us. I recently went to see a different physician for a second opinion and after conducting numerous tests, he concluded that there is a good possibility of obtaining a pregnancy through their IVF process. I’m 37, so my clock is ticking. Truth is the cost is over $26,000 and I feel selfish putting my husband through that financial burden again. I have leaned on my faith with god and understand that he is the final decision maker. If I can raise the funds myself I will go through this last attempt to be a mom. I am in school for my Doctorate and the truth is I would give up my career and education for a blessing from god. I have 15 nieces/nephews and I try to keep a smile every time a new one is born. But I am the only sibling childless, so it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. I enjoy mentoring and leading youths, and it has pained me to not have a child of my own to raise with god’s faith and to help others. I know many people are in need of help, so it wasn’t easy to post on here. I sometimes feel selfish asking for help when the world needs so much. So with a humble heart, I want to say thank you even if you just took the time to read this.
