Campaign Story

My name is Courtney, and I live in Georgia. As a single woman without fertility insurance coverage, I face both biological and financial barriers to preserving my possibilities of motherhood while balancing my career and personal goals.

Egg freezing represents my chance to secure time and options. Fertility declines with age, and I don’t want to wait until it’s too late. For me, freezing my eggs now is an act of hope and empowerment — a way to protect my future family.

My decision is shaped and inspired by my sister who was diagnosed with endometriosis and later cervical cancer. I supported her through chemotherapy and radiation, and I watched as those treatments, while lifesaving, also caused infertility and stole her chance at any further biological reproduction. Seeing her grieve and battle through her journey left a lasting impact on me. It reminded me how quickly life can change and fertility can be taken away. Her experience taught me just how fragile fertility is and motivated me to act now before options disappear.

The major challenge is cost. In Atlanta, a single cycle with medications and storage can reach $10,000–$15,000, which is impossible for me to cover as a self-pay patient. Even with careful budgeting, the barrier is too high. I want the safety and support of a trusted U.S. clinic near home, but I need help to make it possible.

Your support would allow me the chance to freeze my eggs within the next few months, relieving financial stress and giving me peace of mind. Your support would not only change my life but also honor my sister’s journey, turning her hardship into the reason I can protect my own future family.
