Zachary & Melissa Tucker IVF Support
Donation protected
Dear family and friends,
Our son, Zachary, and his wife, Melissa, have been enduring a 2-year heartfelt battle with infertility, secondary to her stage 4 endometriosis (diagnosed in 2018). Endo is a disease that decreases the chances of fertility by 30-50%. Melissa is seeing a specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and recently had an extensive surgery (August 2019) to remove diseased endo tissue from her pelvic cavity and reproductive organs. The goal of surgery was to increase fertility and decrease severe pain. Unfortunately, her case has been very aggressive. Zack and Melissa have endured a number of failed fertility treatments since surgery. Their reality has been devastating-- they have suffered 3 early miscarriages at 4-5 weeks and 1 miscarriage at 6 1/2 weeks. Endometriosis has no cure. With each passing month fertility chances continue to decrease. Therefore, her doctor’s expert recommendation is that they pursue the next step to achieve pregnancy--in-vitro fertilization (IVF). This is a very costly procedure which is 0% covered by health insurance.
Due to this aggressive disease process, we as their parents, wish to propose to help them raise the $20,000 needed to attain their goal to pursue IVF as soon as possible! Their first IVF appointment at Mayo Clinic is Friday, March 27th. The funds will be needed by June 1st.
Please consider donating to this couple who are praying for an answer to have a baby of their own through the process of IVF! We will greatly appreciate your financial and prayerful support as God leads you!
Thank you!
