Campaign Story

Hi. My name is Jody; my husband is Eric. We are asking for your help to obtain our biggest DREAM, which is to have a child. We met, fell in love, and got married late in life for child-bearing years, but lucky just the same. The problem we face is that I am unable to carry a baby. Many years ago, I had a hysterectomy but could keep my ovaries. During a recent ultrasound, two beautiful eggs were visible. According to my doctor, fertility medications may bless us with a few more, giving us an even greater chance at having a family of our own. In this, I have complete faith.

For older couples especially, fertility issues can be tough to deal with, and asking for help is much the same. And at 51 and 52, time is not on our side.

We are trying to do the treatment, then have my remaining eggs removed and frozen until we can afford IVF and a surrogate to carry the child.

Here is the costs breakdown: Basic IVF treatment: In-Vitro Fertilization Cycle with Gestational Carrier total $22,125 (medication excluded)

Physician Fee $9,650.00
