Campaign Story
We (Ashley & Joe) have been struggling with infertility for the past several years. We have worked with several doctors and have been trying many different treatments to have a child. It has been quite a journey, but we are tackling the next step – IVF. Our doctors through U of M Fairview (Center for Women) think that this would most likely be our best course of action. However, this is quite costly and currently out of our reach financially. Medications and all parts of the process are quite expensive and not covered by insurance. After nearly 12 years in education and 10 years at my current school, I’m certain that motherhood is something that I want to experience. We both wholeheartedly love children and watching them grow and learn. Joe and I would love to raise a kind and compassionate human for the next generation. We know that this is a big ask, but every small amount would help, and we both appreciate you taking the time to read our message. We love you and appreciate you!

Generosity
Joe and I feel incredibly supported by all of the friends, family, and acquaintances that have donated to our cause! I’m in tears just thinking about how much everyone cares and has shown up for us in our time of need. The next steps of the journey are only possible because of all the donations you have contributed! We would not have been able to move forward without monetary support. We are in the consultation phase now with 2 different clinics (RMIA in Edina, MN and CNY Fertility in Colorado Springs, CO) for the next part of treatment. As with many things right now, there is quite a wait…but we will hopefully have some updates on when we can begin treatments in late spring/early summer. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Hugs to all!

Progress & Hope
Hello all,
A HUGE hug goes out to every single one of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you beautiful people! Because of all of your support, we can afford to officially commit to one cycle of IVF! After consulting with a few clinics for opinions and budget, we are able to begin treatment with CNY Fertility in Colorado Springs, CO. We have a few months of testing and preparation first. This summer, we will make a few trips to Colorado for one complete round of IVF. I will continue to post updates here to share how things are going. In the meantime, I would love to send each and every donor a handwritten note of thanks. Please send me your most up to date address via email (an.hudak@gmail.com) and I can get a card to you!
With Love,
Ashley & Joe -

Summer
Hello again,
Man, it has been a tough few days with all of the news about schools and students right now. My heart is heavy and I've been extra emotional as I consider school wrapping up for the year and how I can best show my students and families love and care. In order to move forward with our IVF cycle this summer (aiming for the end of July!), I've had to have a lot more monitoring and testing done. I had to complete a checklist of bloodwork and an additional ultrasound that insurance won't cover (nearly $1,000). My medical bills have totaled nearly $5,000 since December and I'm fighting with insurance since they claimed I haven't met my deductible ($3,000) yet. So, I feel a little frustrated with the situation but I'm keeping up on all of my supplements and have begun one of my hormone shots. Due to testing being so expensive, any little donation will still be very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to the next step of the process and I've been in communication with our clinic in Colorado. I'm also hoping to take this summer to relax and step away from the stress at school/work and spend time in the garden (and with family!). Love to all!
