🌊 My Story: Mermaid Wanting a Baby 🌊

Hi, my name is Lenisa. Many people know me as a professional mermaid, but behind the seashells and sparkle, I’m simply a woman who has always dreamed of becoming a mother.

I am married to my loving husband, Michael, and I’m also a proud bonus mom to two amazing kids who bring so much joy to my life. But deep in my heart, I long to experience the journey of carrying a baby of our own—to share the gift of life, love, and family together.

This journey hasn’t been easy. I recently had polyp removal surgery to prepare my body for pregnancy, which came with its own costs. Now, I’ve been told that my egg count is declining, so I need to act quickly. The next step is to retrieve and freeze my eggs before it’s too late. After that, I will have fibroid removal surgery—which thankfully will be covered by my husband’s insurance and possibly mine as well. But the egg retrieval and freezing process is urgent, and unfortunately, insurance won’t cover those costs.

One round of egg retrieval and IVF can cost upwards of $20,000, and this is where I need your help. Your donation will directly go toward retrieving and freezing my eggs, giving us the chance to preserve our hope for a baby.

By donating or even just sharing our story, you’re helping us take the next step toward our miracle—our future baby. From the depths of my heart (and the sea), thank you for believing in us and helping me in my dream of becoming a MermMomma. 🧜🏽‍♀️👶💙
