Help Make My Dream of Motherhood Possible: Egg Freezing Fund

Hi, I’m Emma, and I’ve always dreamed of having a family of my own. But, as life would have it, the journey hasn’t been linear.

Those who know me know I’ve spent years considering donor options and even going solo. But deep down, I’ve always held a vision of raising children in a loving, supportive partnership. That feels especially important given I live with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), which means I need a little extra support one week out of every four. I’m not ashamed of that, I’ve just learned to be honest about my needs.

If you’ve followed my journey, you’ll know I’ve been relentlessly committed to my personal growth, healing from trauma, and learning what a truly healthy relationship looks like. In doing so, I may have unintentionally outgrown a lot of my dating pool… but I’ve also grown into someone I really like. Someone with high standards. Someone who fiercely loves her inner child (and would like to have an outer one to love just as much).

I only wish I’d arrived at this place sooner. But life has thrown more than few curve balls at me, and I’m a late bloomer. And unfortunately, ovaries don’t care how long it takes to silence your inner critic or unlearn toxic patterns. They just keep aging.

In my 30s, I threw myself into building a business that could give me the financial freedom to afford things like egg freezing. Instead, I found myself deep in burnout. While I’m proud to say I’ve come a long way in my recovery, my bank account hasn’t quite caught up yet.

So here I am… swallowing my pride, breaking my “I’ll figure it out myself” rule, and asking for help.

If you have a few dollars to spare and if you believe I’d make a good mum, I would be deeply grateful for your support in helping me afford the preparation, harvesting, freezing, and storage of my eggs. Being 40 means I may need multiple rounds to ensure a chance at future motherhood.

This isn’t just about preserving fertility, it’s about preserving hope. The hope that, one day, I’ll get to raise a child in the kind of love I’ve worked so hard to learn how to give.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting. Every dollar (and every kind word) means the world.

With love,

Emma
