Marwa’s IVF Fund

I’ve been going back and forth with this for a while and have just built up the courage to go for this.

The only way I can paint a picture of our struggles is by first starting off by telling you our little love story.

Myself and my husband first met in 2007 when I was 19 years young and I was on holiday in Morocco & when I tell you it was love at first sight it really was, I knew instantly he was THE one.

Fast forward to 2011 I was 23 and we got engaged, being young and dumb I got cold feet and didn’t want to be tied down so we parted ways but every summer when I would holiday in Morocco we would get back together.

With me living in the UK and him in Morocco years passed and life went on, I had got engaged to someone else and he heard the news and later on I heard he got married. I called off my engagement as I was still deeply in love with him and couldn’t bare the thought of marrying someone else despite knowing he was married. In 2017 our paths crossed again and he was separated as the marriage was abusive and we started talking again. We haven’t spent a single day since 10th May 2017 not speaking and we’ve been together ever since. We finally got married on 1st March 2020 in Morocco and I was ready to come home to the UK to start his visa process of getting him here to be with me then covid struck. We spent 460 days apart then the borders opened and his visa was granted, he could finally come to the UK on 17th June 2021.

We have been through so much to finally be with each other and we’ve come to our hardest hurdle yet. It’s so unfair, I just want to start a family with the love of my life and make babies that are half me, half him but luck isn’t on our side. I’m 35 years old and he’s 39, we have been trying for years and years. 6 baby losses in and due to him being in another country up until 2 years ago our GP has finally referred us for IVF but we received a letter to say because of him immigration status and the fact he’s not a permanent UK resident we aren’t eligible to have IVF through the NHS despite us paying £2000 for his immigration health surcharge and myself being a British citizen and the actual problem laying with me. He’s been tested and everything is fine but it’s me that keeps miscarrying.

So here we are, pleading for help to raise £7000 to get private IVF. I’m 35 and time is not on my side, I can’t afford to wait another 5 years until he becomes a permanent resident for us to then be referred via the NHS then god knows how long the wait and process will be.

Anything you can donate will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
