Campaign Story

My husband Carlos and I were happily married June 1st, 2024. Early on in our relationship we talked and dreamed of one day having a family. I have always known that I wanted to be a mom. When I was a little girl I would always carry a baby doll around, or wrap one of our kittens up in a blanket and pretend it was my baby. That dream has always seemed so far away though after a diagnosis that I received when I was young. I don’t remember the exact age, I was probably between 6 and 10, but I was diagnosed with Turner’s Syndrome. It unfortunately has very negative effects on the endocrine and reproductive system. My doctor warned me that it would be very hard, if not impossible, to have children. Shortly after getting married in 2024, my husband and I reached out to our Fertility Clinic to meet with my doctor to begin IVF. After two failed rounds of IVF transfers and much of our savings spent, we are faced with starting a second round of IVF and need to create more embryos. We have not given up on our dream to have a family, but we need help financially to make it possible. We are so excited to be parents one day and we are so grateful for any support we receive along the way.
