A Touch of Love

Donation protected
We are asking for any love and support you can provide whether it be sharing our post, sending us best wishes, prayers, or donating even the smallest amount. We would be forever grateful.

Doug and I have been together for several years and from the early stage of our relationship, we discovered it would be nearly impossible to have a child naturally together. Believing it is our destiny, we had researched and looked into all the possibilities before realizing the IVF would give us the greatest chance.

For the past year, we have had two unsuccessful attempts of trying IVF which we have exhausted nearly all of our life savings. This has caused a financial strain due to additional medical expenses that was not foreseen. This in turn created much heartache seeing how our dream seemed to be pushed further and further away. Determined, we both stick together and push forward with positive thoughts. We have decided to go for our “third time lucky” in yet another IVF procedure.

We have a tremendous amount of love for one another that we want nothing more than to have our own precious bundle of joy. It is true that I do indeed have children already but my husband does not. Although he is the most incredible step-father, we have so much love to give and this would complete our family.

Thank you for allowing us to share our incredible journey and thank you again for all your love and support!

Always,

Melissa and Doug  xx
