Campaign Story
Jenny started fertility treatments in June 2021 with six IUIs before switching to IVF treatments. In summer 2022, Greece was calling her name to seek out the best fertility clinics in Europe. Two embryos were transferred in the end of June, resulting in a positive pregnancy test in early July. While the treatment was successful, Jenny’s ultrasound in August 2022 revealed two no longer viable embryos, most likely due to chromosomal aneuploidy.
Thankfully there were two more embryos waiting for Jenny in Greece. The stars aligned for Jenny to make the trek back to Athens over the Thanksgiving holiday. Unfortunately, it was the same story, just a different day. Another positive pregnancy test and promising ultrasounds until the ultrasound that wasn’t promising in January of 2023.
At this point in the game, Jenny will need to pursue IVF treatment domestically, due to some additional measures that make the time abroad no longer feasible. Unfortunately, the cost of domestic treatments are exorbitant, which is why she needs the help of her village to realize this dream.
Thank you for considering to support Jenny!

With so much gratitude
I am writing to you with a heart filled with immense gratitude and joy. Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am for your unwavering support and the incredible generosity you have shown in donating to my IVF campaign. Thanks to your kindness and support, we have reached our goal!
Embarking on this journey towards starting a family has been an emotional rollercoaster, filled with uncertainty and countless ups and downs the past two years. The process of IVF can be overwhelming, with its share of challenges and moments of waiting anxiously. However, knowing that I have such an amazing village of supporters like you by my side has provided me with immeasurable strength and courage. The funds you have contributed will not only alleviate the financial burden associated with IVF but will also enable me to pursue this dream with hope and confidence. Your selflessness and belief in me have touched my heart deeply, and I am forever grateful for your love and support.
In the upcoming week, I will begin my first medications, marking an important step in this journey. While there will be more medications and additional waiting in the weeks and months to come, I find solace in knowing that I have all of you rooting for me and waiting patiently alongside me. Your positive thoughts, prayers, and encouragement mean the world to me and make this experience so much more bearable.
Please know that I will keep you updated on my progress as we move forward. Your investment in my dreams has given me renewed hope and optimism, and I promise to keep you informed every step of the way. Your support has made a profound impact on my life, and I am committed to sharing this incredible journey with you. Once again, from the depths of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for your kindness, generosity, and belief in me. I am blessed to have such incredible friends and family in my life.

The End of the Road
I hope this message finds you well in the dog days of summer. I wanted to take a moment to share an update on my IVF journey that many of you have been so kind to follow and support. Your encouragement, understanding, and positivity have meant the world to me, and I wanted to let you in on the latest chapter.
As you know, my journey has been a long and circuitous one, spanning three years filled with hope, resilience, and challenges. Back in June, I embarked on a second IVF cycle with great determination; by the end of July, I underwent a fresh embryo transfer. However, recent bloodwork results delivered a negative outcome, a reality that was tough to swallow. Yet, I knew I still had a final embryo to be gentically tested—a final thread of hope.
Just last week I received the results from genetic testing of my remaining embryo. Unfortunately, the news revealed that the embryo is chromosomally abnormal, marking the end of this particular journey. It's a conclusion none of us envisioned, but life has its own twists and turns, and sometimes our paths take us to unexpected destinations.
While this chapter is closing, I am far from defeated. I'm taking the time to reflect on what lies ahead, to gather my thoughts, and to navigate the uncertainty that accompanies the end of one path and the beginning of another. The future may be uncertain, but I am certain of the incredible support system I have behind me.
Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you. Your kindness and encouragement have made a lasting impact, and I'm forever grateful for the role you've played in my journey. As I take my next steps, I hope to carry your positivity and support with me, and I'm excited to see where this new path leads.
— Jenny
