My husband and I are not the type of people to ask for money.  But I am running out of time.  I am 39 years old and I still have several years left to finish my PhD research.  My husband has always supported me and my endeavors,  therefore,  when it comes to income, my husband does all the heavy lifting and works his butt off without complaint.  But there isn't much left over.
Long story short,  I would love to have a baby of my own, however,  I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS.  It is a painful condition which keeps  me from ovulating every month.   I have been through every treatment except IVF or in vitro fertilization and all of it has sucked but this is how badly I would like a family of my own.  
This has been a private emotional jouney for us for the past 7 years.  It is tremendously hard to write all of this and ask for help because there is so much more to this than these simple words.  So much sadness and disappointment but also love and growth for me and my husband, Doyle. 
I would love the opportunity to try IVF.  Then I will know I did everything in my power to try and create a family for Doyle and me.  There is nothing I would love more than to give this wonderful man a child.  I know times are tough for a lot of people and Christmas is around the corner but any little bit would help.

All the money raised would go towards the IVF procedure and meds involved. I would like to try for the summer of 2016.  My gratefulness would know no bounds and I would spend the rest of my life paying it forward.  

Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions please ask.
