Campaign Story

My Name is Karen and my husband name is Gregory. My story is one of hope, resilience, and love—a narrative that reflects my desire to build a family with my husband, who has always dreamed of being a father.

My journey took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant with my daughter. The diagnosis was overwhelming, and in the course of treatment, I had to make the heart-wrenching decision to have my fallopian tubes removed. This surgery was necessary for my health, but it also meant that I would no longer be able to conceive naturally. The emotional weight of this reality was profound, especially as I navigated the challenges of motherhood while dealing with my health.

On September 5, 2020, I married my husband, a kind and loving man who has always longed for children of his own. Together, we envisioned a future filled with laughter, love, and the joy of parenting. However, our journey to expand our family has not been easy. We have faced significant challenges, including two failed IVF transfers. Each attempt was filled with hope, and each setback felt like a crushing blow to our dreams.

The financial implications of our situation have been equally daunting. We have spent over $20,000 out of pocket for fertility treatments, as we do not have insurance coverage for these procedures. This financial burden has added stress to an already emotional journey, making it difficult to remain hopeful about our future.

Receiving this grant would provide us with the support we desperately need to continue our path toward parenthood. It would ease the financial strain we are under and allow us to pursue additional fertility treatments that could help us achieve our dream of having a child together. This assistance would mean the world to us, as it would not only alleviate our financial concerns but also restore our hope in the possibility of expanding our family.

My husband is an incredible man who deserves the opportunity to experience the joys of fatherhood. Together, we want to create a loving home for a child, filled with support, laughter, and unconditional love. This grant would not only be an investment in our family but also a beacon of hope in our journey.

In conclusion, I am asking for your support to help us realize our dream of parenthood. This grant would play a critical role in making it possible for my husband and me to welcome a child into our lives, and I assure you that we would cherish and nurture that child with all the love
