Jake and Brandi's Fertility Treatment Journey

We are Jake and Brandi. We have been together for almost ten years and have always dreamed of starting a family. We have been trying to conceive for at least 8 years and have had no luck. Fertility treatment, especially IVF, is VERY expensive. We are self-employed and work together from home. We make ends meet but we simply don't make enough to pay the thousands and thousands of dollars that are due upfront to pursue fertility treatment. The first appointment, just the consultation, is about $1,000 in itself. IUI is over $1,000 per attempt and IVF is over $10,000 per cycle. Plus all the costs in between. We know we would be excellent parents and if you know us, you know how much it pains us that this doesn't just happen naturally like it should. We own a beautiful, warm and loving home and we have such a strong desire to experience the joys of raising a child. We don't like to ask for help, especially when money is involved, but this is the only way we will ever have the chance to fulfill our dream of becoming parents. It is impossible to do this on our own. Every donation, every dollar, is appreciated beyond words and will go directly to fertility treatment costs.
