Campaign Story

My name is Patty and I just turned 36. Being a mother has always been my dream. I am the youngest of four, yet I have always been the caretaker and “mother” to my siblings. As I’ve grown up, my brothers have gone on to have their own families and I have 3 beautiful nieces and 2 amazing nephews. I met my husband in 2019, and he had a sassy and beautiful 5 year old little girl that I have become a mother figure to. However, she has her own mother and the void of being a childless “mother” has hit harder than even I expected. I have had trouble conceiving my entire adult life and had given up hope that I would ever be a parent. In 2022, I took a job that has infertility insurance benefits and we began the testing and process needed to move forward with infertility treatments. Unfortunately, I was laid off from that job in January 2023 and lost access to any coverage prior to our cycle date. My husband and I would love to realize our dream of having at least one child together to share our lives with. Any donation helps and will go toward our IVF cycles.
