Blessing of a child

Donation protected

UPDATE! $1,000 to go! Hi! So, here's the new breakdown.

For the full IFV, it is $15,400. It's a little higher because of my age, so they have to do testing on the embryos to make sure they implant viable ones. When my dad passed, he left me enough to get started since he had been on me about giving him another grandchild ☺️ (now he'll meet the baby beforehand). We have put down $10,000 to get started. Right now we have $4,900 to pay towards the rest. Which leaves $500 to go. It's also $500 for the donor vial. So, in total, we need $1,000. SO CLOSE! Please spread the word so we can make this goal within the next 2 weeks. Blessings to you all!


UPDATE! We have now done 6 rounds of IUI. My doctor is no longer approving this type. Our only next step is to do IVF. Our insurance will not over any of this. Depending on small details, this costs between $10,000 - $15,000. The higher end included freezing the embros for more cycles. So we would have multiple tries out of this. I have changed the "goal" amount to match this. I know it'll take a miracle to raise this amount. I just don't have it in me to give up. I can't let go of my dream to carry and have a child. I pray for this miracle. I will have the breakdown of costs this week with a better estimated amount.



Hi everyone. I'm fundraising for help continuing my family. I have been through 4 cycles of fertility with no luck. We originally saved up for a long time, but the funds have run out. There's nothing in this world that we want more than to add another blessing to our little family. It would be amazing to be able to try even just one more time. Insurance does not pay for any of this. Each round is $3,029 with the break down of...



$1,350 - doctor fees

$1,500 - sperm from the sperm bank

$159 - pregnyl for the "trigger shot" to trigger ovulation

$20 for the 5 day hormone pills



This is the 1st time I have ever asked for help. Especially publicly. We are desperate so, my pride needs to take a backseat for the time being. The doctor says that if we keep trying back to back months, the chances get higher each time. The next cycle would be next week (7th), so we are trying keep our chances up.



There would be no words to express just how grateful we would be for any kindness of help that anyone could send out way. Our hearts have been breaking at the thought of having to give up. If you could help us in this journey, we would appreciate it.



"It takes a village", right? We just need our village a little earlier in the process.
