Bonjour, 
 
Nous sommes Alexandra et Samuel. Ensemble depuis 16 ans, nous sommes des parents aimants et des professionnels de la santé : Alexandra est infirmière en réadaptation physique et Samuel travaille en imagerie médicale. 
 
Depuis près de 10 ans, nous nous battons pour agrandir notre famille. Ce parcours a été marqué par 6 inséminations, 4 fausses couches, une grossesse ectopique et, en 2024, une perte à 12 semaines qui nous a profondément marqués. 
 
Malgré tout, notre rêve est resté vivant. ✨ 
 
Nous avons poursuivi vers la fécondation in vitro (FIV). Après une stimulation éprouvante, Alexandra a souffert d’un syndrome d’hyperstimulation ovarienne qui l’a menée à l’hôpital. Mais ce combat nous a offert un immense espoir : notre petit Tom, né à 32 semaines, par césarienne d’urgence, avec un poids de seulement 610 g. 
 
Aujourd’hui, Tom poursuit son développement aux soins intensifs néonataux. C’est un petit guerrier, et nous sommes tellement fiers de lui. 
 
Pourquoi nous demandons votre aide 
 
Ce long parcours a entraîné des dépenses non couvertes, notamment : 

• Tests médicaux essentiels à la FIV 

• Médicaments partiellement remboursés 

• Nombreuses pertes de revenus liées aux rendez-vous et hospitalisations 

• Frais encourus pour l'hospitalisation de Tom et nos frais de déplacement (essence, repas, stationnement, etc) 
 
Nous avons utilisé toutes nos économies et banques de congés. Nous faisons maintenant appel à votre générosité pour éponger les dettes encourues liées à la FIV et ainsi pouvoir continuer sereinement notre aventure familiale. 
 
Chaque don fait une vraie différence 
 
Peu importe le montant, votre soutien représente : 

Une chance pour Tom d’avoir une fratrie proche de lui 

Un espoir qui continue de grandir 

Une aide concrète à une famille qui ne lâche pas 
 
Du plus profond de notre cœur : 

merci pour votre compassion, votre écoute et votre générosité. 
 
Alexandra &amp; Samuel 

— et notre petit Tom 
 
-----------------------------------
 
Hello,
 
We are Alexandra and Samuel. We have been together for 16 years, we are loving parents, and we both work in healthcare: Alexandra is a physical rehabilitation nurse, and Samuel works in medical imaging.
 
For nearly 10 years, we have been fighting to grow our family. This journey has been marked by 6 inseminations, 4 miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and in 2024, a heartbreaking loss at 12 weeks.
 
Despite everything, our dream has never faded. 
 
We moved forward with in vitro fertilization (IVF). After an intense stimulation treatment, Alexandra developed ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome that required hospitalization. But all this led to a bright spark of hope: our little Tom, born at 32 weeks by emergency C-section, weighing only 610 g (1 lb 5 oz).
 
Today, Tom continues to grow in the neonatal intensive care unit. He is a little warrior, and we are so incredibly proud of him. 
 
Why we are asking for your support
 
This long journey has brought many uncovered expenses, including:

• Essential medical tests for IVF

• Medications only partially covered by insurance

• Significant loss of income due to medical appointments and hospital stays

• Costs associated with Tom’s hospitalization and frequent travel (gas, meals, parking, etc.)
 
We have used all our savings and all our leave from work. We are now reaching out for your generosity to help relieve the debt accumulated due to IVF, so we can continue this journey as a family with more peace of mind.
 
Every donation truly makes a difference
 
No matter the amount, your support represents:

A chance for Tom to grow up with siblings by his side

Hope that continues to grow

Real help for a family that never gives up
 
From the bottom of our hearts:

thank you for your compassion, your kindness, and your generosity.
 
Alexandra &amp; Samuel

— and our little Tom
