Bring Hope to Our Rainbow Baby Journey Through IVF
Donation protected
"You prepare for your first, but no one prepares you for the reality that they could be last." These words echo in the depths of our hearts, resonating a reality we never imagined facing. Secondary infertility has cast a shadow over our lives, robbing us of hopes and dreams we held dear. I was officially diagnosed with secondary infertility this past April. In the past two and a half years, we have weathered storms that tested our resilience and strength. A miscarriage, seven failed IUIs, surgeries, tests, injections, shots, endless trials of fertility medication – each hurdle a painful reminder of the uphill battle we face. Yet, amidst the darkness, we have determination to press on. Balancing the demands of being a wife, full-time mommy to the sweetest toddler, full-time career, a recent graduated full-time student, and the emotional toll, bills, and costs of infertility treatments, I have learned the true meaning of perseverance. The weight of this journey has left a hole on our hearts, a void yearning to be filled with the joy of parenthood. Through it all, we have clung to hope, held together by the unwavering support of our loved ones and the expertise of our dedicated fertility specialists. Their compassion and guidance have been a beacon of light in our darkest hours, reminding us that we are not alone in this fight. Today, I humbly ask for your support in turning our dreams into reality. With your help, we can overcome the financial barriers that stand between us and IVF treatment. Your generosity could be the lifeline we desperately need to take the next step on our journey to parenthood and blessing our son with a sibling. As we navigate this uncertain path, we cling to the belief that every setback brings us closer to our goal of expanding our family. With your kindness and generosity, we can rewrite the narrative of our story, transforming pain into triumph and despair into joy. Please, consider granting us this opportunity to pursue IVF treatment. With your support, we can turn the tide of infertility and reclaim the hope that has sustained us through the darkest of days. Thank you for your consideration and for being a beacon of possibility and hope in our journey. We are asking for this amount because after fighting against secondary infertility we have nearly run out of infertility insurance benefits. We are paying our own down payment for IVF and utilizing the last bit of insurance. However, after that everything else will be out of pocket, so any donations will go towards IVF medications, embryo storage, genetic testing (recommended by our doctors because of our ages), and hospital expenses.
