Marianne and I have been trying to have a baby for over 3 years now. After talking to different doctors and going through multiple procedures costing thousands of dollars nothing worked. We finally decided to do IVF.

Once learning how expensive it is, and that all the money is due upfront, we knew we had to find a solution. Just like most people in this situation you go to your parents for guidance and advice. My mom asked us if we looked into Go Fund Me, and we quickly said no! We felt like asking people to pay for this wasn't the right decision. But then she put it in a perspective that changed our mind. She came up with the idea to create a Go Fund Me account for our IVF but took it another step further. She said to "pay it forward" where any money raised that exceeded the cost of the procedure would carry over to another family going through the same issues we are. We loved the idea and here we are now.

Our goal is $13,000 and all we plan to cover is the cost of the procedure plus any medication and consultations . All money left over will be donated to a couple that wants to get the same procedure done and hopefully they pass it on to someone else and so on.
