Hi, I’m Ami. I never imagined I’d be writing this, sharing such a raw part of my life and asking for help but right now, I don’t have many other options. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with womb cancer. It’s been terrifying, painful, and completely life-changing. But alongside fighting this disease, I’m also clinging tightly to one hope, the chance to become a mam.

 I recently had a call from my doctor. Because of my blood hormone levels, egg collection is no longer an option for me. It was devastating to hear. But there’s still a small, difficult path forward and I need help to take it. 

The only way I may now have a chance at becoming a mam is through IVF using a donor. To even qualify, I need to get my BMI down to 30 or below. And there’s a high chance I’ll have to fund this myself which is around £6,000 a go. Depending on the outcome of a complicated situation that may affect my NHS eligibility.

 If I’m not approved for funding, this could be my only chance, and I’ll have to pay for everything on my own. It’s a lot. And I’m scared that time and money might be the things that stop me from ever becoming a mam. 

If you can help in any way, by donating or even just sharing this you’re giving me a real chance at the future I’ve dreamed of for so long. A chance to fight for something beautiful in the middle of something so difficult. 

 Thank you for reading. 

Thank you for caring. 

With love, Ami
