Hi, my name is Elizabeth Li and I want to tell you about my beautiful friends that need funds to start their family.
Ashton and Josh are the kindest and most thoughtful people, If there was a measurement on those that were most deserving of become parents, it’s these two! They started to try for a family in 2020 but to no avail. They could not conceive naturally. So, they took steps to get help.
In 2021, they went to their first fertility doctor were they spent thousands of dollars with no answers on why they couldn’t have children. From there they decided to try a new clinic in May of 2021. That’s when the testing really started and they could start IUI treatments. Unfortunately, they had 2 cancelled IUI cycles and 6 failed attempts which was around $700/IUI cycle. They started the IVF process in Jan of 2023. They spent $24k for medicine, retrieval and a fresh transfer. It was such difficult process with lots of meds, shots and test. The fresh transfer was cancelled in February. Then they got the exciting news in March that they could do the transfer and on her birthday they would know if Ashton was pregnant or not. However, it did not take and instead of celebrating her birthday they were mourning another failed attempt at becoming parents.
Ashton and Josh have wanted to start a family for so long. They are such caregivers to their family and friends. I have been a personal witness to their struggles to start a family as everyone around them has started theirs. Right now they are trying to do genetic testing of 4 remaining embryos and prep for another transfer, but they need to do genetic testing first. This will cost them nearly $9k or more. They have already spent almost $30k this year in this process. They just need some help so they can continue and hopefully the next transfer will be their last and they can bring a little bundle of joy home to their loving family.
