Campaign Story

Meet Tori and Joe Bozlinski!

Tori met Joe fresh out of college through a self-defense class, complete with medieval swords, that he used to teach for disenfranchised youths in their quaint suburban neighborhood! It was love at first sight and they have been together now, going on 11 years.

For the past 10 years Tori and Joe have been trying to have a baby, with no success. Tori suffers from PCOS and other general infertility diagnoses. For the past nearly 2 years they have been going through IVF courtesy of their insurance. They were able to successfully grow embryos through a few different egg retrievals. Tori is the primary breadwinner of the family, as Joe has a mild case of cerebral palsy and is an independent creative who works from home. Tori has spent the last decade working about 120 hours a week between multiple jobs in the human services/mental health fields, to get them to a place where they are financially stable enough to justify bringing a child into this world.

Unfortunately, her body had other plans and she has been unable to have kids. Recently, Tori has had to change jobs in order to protect her mental health, and her new job’s insurance does not cover IVF. The costs for IVF are extreme, and Tori and Joe are now trying every avenue possible to try to get a frozen embryo transfer, just for the possibility to have a baby. Any help or donations would be extremely appreciated.
