Campaign Story

Hi! I am Alicia!

About seven years ago, my husband and I began our infertility journey when I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis. Eventually, we tried IVF and although we had failed attempts, we were blessed to have three remaining embryos remaining to continue to try. Unfortunately, our lives changed forever in October 2020 when tumors were found in my liver during a routine CT scan.

The tumors ended up being hepatic adenomas, which occur in extremely rare cases when genetic predisposition meets an increase of hormones – in my case, IVF. I went through a difficult year treating and even having a few adenomas removed. The year has been both medically and financially exhausting; however, I am blessed to say I am healing and physically stronger than ever. That being said, the diagnosis was devastating because it meant we could no longer move forward on our IVF journey; because of the necessary hormones, doing so would be deadly.

We are blessed beyond measure to have found a surrogate; without her, our remaining three embryos would go to waste. We have been saving and have enough to cover most elements of surrogacy; all except the extremely expensive surrogacy health insurance. Can you help us? We are in need of a miracle and some holiday generosity!
