Campaign Story

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to respectfully request financial assistance for In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) and a Gestational Carrier (GC).

In March 2025, I suffered the devastating loss of my pregnancy at 20 weeks and was forced to undergo a life-saving hysterectomy. While my ovaries remain intact, I no longer have a uterus, meaning I cannot carry a pregnancy. The only path forward to expand my family is through IVF, embryo testing, and a gestational carrier.

The cost of this medical journey is overwhelming. Below is the total estimated breakdown:
• Initial consultations & testing: $2,000
• Ovarian stimulation medications & monitoring: $8,000
• Egg retrieval procedure: $5,000
• Fertilization (IVF/ICSI): $4,000
• Embryo culture & PGT-A testing: $8,000
• Embryo freezing & storage: $2,000
• Gestational carrier screening & legal contracts: $10,000
• Agency fees (if required): $20,000
• Surrogate compensation: $50,000
• Insurance for gestational carrier: $20,000
• Embryo transfer: $5,000
• Pregnancy & delivery support: $10,000

Total Estimated Cost: $144,000

For a single household, this cost is far beyond financial reach. Grants, donations, and scholarship funds would make an immeasurable difference in helping me overcome this barrier and fulfill my dream of welcoming another child.

This journey is not just medical — it is deeply personal. After the loss of my baby and my uterus, pursuing IVF with a gestational carrier is the only way to carry forward the hope of parenthood. Your support would provide healing after tragedy, restore hope, and create a legacy of love for my family.

Thank you for considering my application and for the work you do to support families impacted by infertility and loss.

With gratitude,
Tatania Sellers Bullock
