Help Monika make her dream come true!

Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Nadiya and I am fundraising for Monika and her husband. In the short 3 years that I have known Monika for, I have learned a few things about her as a person and I know for a fact that she would never ask for help, however I know that her and her husband desperately need your help, so I am doing it on their behalf.

This is Monika's story...

"For as long as I can remember, I had dreamed of being a mom. Having my own family meant everything to me. Caring my baby, hearing the babies first heart beats, feeling the first kicks, knowing "little you" is growing inside you, is the only thing in life I have ever been certain of. It is unbelievably difficult to be around friends and coworkers with their brand new babies and act like everything is fine, then go home and cry my eyes out. I never thought I could squeeze that many tears out. Knowing that I might not ever have a child, left me frustrated, annoyed, mad, sad, angry and hopeless.

Our journey started over 8 years ago. After many medical appointment with many different specialists, 3 failed IUI's (Intrauterine Insemination), miscarriage, numerous supplements and injections we are back to square one. Four years ago we were diagnosed with "Unexplained Infertility", so our chances of having a baby after trying for 8 years are less than 1%. Even though this whole experience has been the hardest thing that our marriage had to deal with, we are not giving up hope on having a family. "

Monika and her husband decided to start a non-funded IVF cycle and planning on starting in December of this year. The cost of IVF is about $17,000 and they desperately need your help to make their dreams a reality!
