Baby Casey IVF Fund
I made this GoFundMe page
for my sister Lisa and brother in law Jimmy. Lisa has a passion for working
with children and is currently a second grade teacher. Jimmy recently accepted
a position as a K9 Officer for Collier County, Florida. They have two dogs and
the only thing that is needed to complete their family is a baby.
They have been struggling
with infertility for 4 years now. My sister and I are very close and I have comforted
her during her 3 miscarriages and 2 failed IUI treatments. When her heart
aches:mine does too. It truly breaks my heart to see someone that I love so
much go through something so terrible. It is extremely hard for me to sit back
and not try to help her in some way. I figured this is the best way possible!
Unfortunately Florida is one
of the many states that insurance does not cover infertility. Lisa and Jimmy
are very proud and did not want to ask for donations from anyone, so this is
why I am doing it for them. (And I desperately want a niece or nephew that
isn't four legged! :-)
Instead of going into all the
details about their struggle. I put together a timeline that will give you a
better understanding of what they have gone through so far.
