Help Suprise the France's-Baby Fund

So the story goes... Abbie & Andy were meant for eachother. They met 10 years ago and since then they have continued to inspire those around them with their hard work ethic, strong value of family, and love for one another. When they married 6 years ago they knew that they were destined to be parents and for the first three years of marriage they tried on their own to do just that. Many tears later they realized that doing it on their own wasn't in the cards for them. You see, Abbie, now 34, was diagnosed with bone cancer in her leg at the young age of 19. After undergoing 10 months of intense chemotherapy, which severely diminished her ovarian reserve, she now has ovaries comparable to those of a woman age 49-54. On top of that, Andy has severe factors limiting his ability to help create a child, which left them with a 0% chance of getting pregnant their own. The only option was to move forward with IVF/ICSI using a micro-flare protocol. This is the most expensive fertility protocol due to the surgical procedures and requiring heavy doses of stim medications. After one unsuccessful fresh IVF cycle, the good news is, that they did have a successful cycle and the quality of the eggs Abbie does produce is great! Annabelle joined the world in June 2013, and has been the apple of all our eyes ever since! The plan is to mimic that same protocol. Doctors are hopeful and optimistic for another successful cycle.

Unfortunately, due to the severity of their fertility factors, they do not qualify for a multi-cycle package or refund plan. And, as of last year, their employer’s health insurance provider dropped the fertility coverage, leaving all expenses out-of-pocket. Right now, the estimate for one fresh cycle is $18,000 - $20,000! Time is also not on their side as they need to take advantage of the eggs that are left before they are gone. Doctors recommend starting the process ASAP for optimal results.

They have set up an appointment in October to begin the process again in hopes for a second child, and sibling for their AMAZING daughter Annabelle.

Abbie has been through so much in her life after battling cancer and unexpectedly losing her wonderful mother, my aunt, in 2008. Abbie remained strong and took on the role of taking care of her younger siblings, Jake and Tori, who were only 16 and 19 at the time.

Abbie is the strongest, most loving and caring person I know and I can't think of anyone more deserving of the chance to have another child. She is a wonderful mother, wife, cousin, granddaughter, sister, friend, daughter and all around outstanding human being.

She doesn't know that I have created this account for her and would be mortified to ask for help herself. Any amount would be so appreciated and helpful! Please help this beautiful couple bring new life into this world!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, sending love and peace to all!
