Campaign Story

My name is Anne. I am a 37 year old single woman that has always wanted to be a mom. All of my life I have taken care of other people’s children and now I am ready for my own child. For years in college I worked as an infant teacher and nanny and for the past 13 years I have been an elementary teacher. After many years of masters and principal licensing programs I finally feel like I’m financially ready to care for a child. Also, since I’m nearing 40 I don’t have the time to wait for the man of my dreams. 🙂 In the past few months I have gotten a couple of tests done and have learned that my Fallopian tubes are partially blocked which means I need to do IvF which is not covered by insurance. Initially I planned to go the IUI route since it was much cheaper and covered by my insurance but that is no longer a possibility. Currently I feel very overwhelmed with all of the costs that go with IVF. I have spent many years working on increasing my teacher salary and purchasing a nice 2 bedroom home for me and my future child and it would be an amazing gift to have some help with some or all of my IVF costs so that I can be emotionally and financially ready for my future child! Thank you!
