Campaign Story

Hello,

After going through 3 failed Medicated IUI’s and almost 2 years of trying naturally our doctors have informed us it was time to begin IVF in hopes of expanding our family and having a child.

Unfortunately, neither of our companies insurance plans provide infertility coverage. Due to the lack of insurance coverage we have already spent thousands of dollars on these 3 previous failed IUI attempts.

Luckily the success rate with IVF is much higher than with IUI. Unfortunately the cost is much more expensive, as well due to the extensive procedures and increased medication needed for IVF.

We were desperately hoping to have children that would be similar age to our siblings children, but unfortunately that just hasn’t been in the cards for us. With the reality before us, we’ve been reluctant to turn to something like this, because it feels like a little hit to our dignity to ask friends, family, and complete strangers for assistance in having a child. We’re hoping that there are some kind souls out there willing to donate even $5. If we’re successful in getting the money together for IVF, we’ll absolutely pay it forward to other struggling hope-to-be-parents.
