Campaign Story

Jenna and Kevin’s journey to parenthood has been defined by resilience, patience, and an unwavering hope that one day they will welcome a child into their arms.

Like many others, Jenna and Kevin began their journey believing that starting a family would come naturally. When it didn’t, they faced months and then years of unanswered questions, medical appointments, and emotional setbacks. Each diagnosis and appointment brought grief for what they had imagined, but also clarity about the path forward. IVF became not just a medical option, but a source of renewed hope.

The process has not been easy. Jenna and Kevin have endured physical exhaustion, financial strain, and emotional heartbreak. They have tried many different options available to them within their means, including timed intercourse, medications, lifestyle changes, and IUI.

There were moments when disappointment felt overwhelming, when they questioned how much more they could endure. Each attempt has strengthened their relationship together and determination to have a family together. They learned to advocate for themselves, to lean on each other, and to hold onto optimism even when outcomes were uncertain.

What sustains Jenna and Kevin is the belief that perseverance matters. They have grown more compassionate, more grounded, and more united together through this experience. Infertility has changed them, but it has also revealed their strength and our deep capacity to love a child we have not yet met.

Receiving an IVF grant would be more than financial assistance; it would be their greatest dream come true. Like many others that are facing infertility treatments, Jenna and Kevin are paying entirely out of pocket. Retrievals cost $16,000 and transfers cost $4,500. The support from this fundraiser would ease a significant financial burden and allow them to move forward with renewed hope, focus, and emotional strength.
