Campaign Story

My name is Julia and I am 37 years old. Last year on July 6th, 2022, day of my birthday, we received the news that my lovely husband, Nicolas has been diagnosed with a breast cancer and he needed to start a long journey of chemotherapy treatment. This day meant the loss of his fertility and obviously the incapacity to have our baby by the normal way. We were so scared and devastated about the disease. It is a lot ta take, and really challenging to handle at the same time. We are both French, and it is also explaining my poor English and mistakes. I am sorry ;). I learnt English 6 years ago when we moved to Los Angeles. When I believed moving to another country was the biggest challenge of my life… It was nothing compare to the cancer journey of the person you love the most, and the fertility issues we encounter. We are truly in love for 15 years, and we always saw the conception of our child as the best and wonderful thing ever. If we don’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity to be parent someday, we need to act fast, especially because of our ages, and I am being out of the clock. We started a month ago the IUI process and we will be moving to IVF. I never imagine starting a fundraising, but reading the stories and all hope, journeys from others families gave me enough strength to write our story, and ask for some help with our fertility treatments. The deadline of the fundraising is the day of my birthday in 2023, and what I wish the most, is receiving the news that my husband will be okay, and the miracle to have a baby. If our dreams become true, we always be grateful. THANK YOU for reading our story.
