Help Bren and Court Start Their Family

Hi everyone, we’re Brennan and Courtney, and we are reaching out to share a very personal part of our lives and ask for your support. It has always been our dream to have a family, and we are so excited to finally be on this journey. Unfortunately, the cost of fertility treatments has risen significantly, and our insurance does not cover any part of it—meaning this will be entirely out-of-pocket for us.

We both work full-time and are doing everything we can to save, but the high upfront costs put us at a real disadvantage before we can even begin the process. We plan to start with IUI for our first baby and hope to pursue RIVF (Reciprocal IVF) for our second, with a total estimated cost of around $25,000.

Your support—whether through a donation or simply by sharing our story—would mean the world to us and would help us take the first big steps toward making our dream of becoming parents a reality. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and encouragement!

We have provided a full break down of cost for those interested.
