Campaign Story

We have always dreamed of expanding our family. Unfortunately, after consulting with a fertility specialist, we were told that it would be nearly impossible for us to conceive naturally. While this news was difficult to hear, we have been given hope through IVF.

IVF (In vitro fertilization) is a medical procedure that helps individuals and couples conceive when natural conception isn’t possible or is unlikely. IVF can be used for a variety of fertility challenges, including blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, and more. Infertility is more common than many people realize. According to the CDC, about 1 in 5 women in the U.S ages 15-49 with no prior birth struggles with infertility. Additionally, male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of cases.

IVF is an incredible opportunity, but it comes with a significant financial burden. Since military health coverage does not cover the procedure, we are reaching out to our community for support. We have set a goal of $15,000 to help cover the costs of treatment, medications, and related expenses.

Any contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to making our dream of expanding our family a reality. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing our story means the world to us. Thank you for your love, kindness, and support on this journey.

With gratitude,
Jackie and Evan Giocondo
