Help! Me Save My Eggs

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Chelsie and I am 26 years old. On October 10, 2014 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I recently had a bilateral mastectomy and will be starting cancer treatments within the next month. I have been advised to seek fertility treatments to harvest my eggs as chemotherapy can permanently damage my ovaries making conception extremely difficult to potentially impossible. As of today I learned that my insurance only covers the preliminary screenings and medications, which is approximately $3,000.00, and the rest, nearly $14,000.00, will be up to me. Before all of this happened I took for granted my ability to one day have children and start a family. At 26 I never thought I would be faced with the very real possibility that by saving my life through cancer treatments I could very possibly be cutting off my ability to make life. I would need to start the hormone process prior to my chemotherapy and hope to raise as much money as possible before that happens in hopes to preserve my fertility. Any help would be unexplainably appreciated. I don't think I could ever put into words how much this gift would mean to me.
