<div><strong>Update Story, May 2026:</strong>
</div>
<div>She's here! After a lengthy labor and hospital stay, Beryl Mae arrived via C-section. Nothing went to plan except healthy baby and healthy mom. One thing we were not expecting was not being able to breastfeed and the cost associated with using formula in addition to our hospital bills. Little B and I would be grateful for any kind of support you can offer. My greatest accomplishment is the miracle girl currently sleeping in my arms, but she will always know about the village that offered love and kindness throughout our whole journey.

<div><strong>Updated Story, August 2025:</strong>
</div>
<div>After my egg retrieval this summer, I wasn't able to do a fresh embryo transfer because my body needed more time to recover. Instead, I began preparing for a modified natural frozen transfer cycle. I was hopeful that this gentler approach would bring me closer to pregnancy, but the first round of medication didn't produce the expected results. My medical team has now adjusted my protocol, and I'm working toward a new transfer date.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every twist in this process is a reminder that infertility rarely follows a straight line, but I am still moving forward. Your support from donations to sharing my story, or simply sending encouragement help me hold onto hope for the day I can finally bring my child home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than anything, I want to be a mom and bring a child into this world, a Jewish child proud of who they are and what they strive for.

<div><strong>Updated Story, spring 2025:</strong>
</div>
<div>When I first started this GoFundMe, I was just a hopeful single woman, ready to pursue motherhood on my own terms. I didn't know then that I was stepping into the hardest, most painful, and most humbling experience of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I thought would be a simple path with a few doctor's visits, a vial of donor sperm, and maybe a few extra pokes has now quickly unraveled into a battle with infertility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past year has taken more than I've ever imagined. I went through a complicated and partially failed IVF cycle because my right ovary refused to cooperate. I had two embryo transfers with healthy, PGT-A-tested embryos that didn't result in pregnancy. And I've face a growing list of diagnoses, tests, and procedures I never saw coming. Most recently, I learned I have signs of inactive endometriosis, a silent condition that likely played a role in the losses and delays I've faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through all of this, I've kept going. I've shown up for my middle school students every day, even while quietly carrying the weight of surgeries, injections, appointments, and grief. I've had to advocate for myself over and over. I've cried in my car, doctors offices, and in the middle of the night. And somehow, I've still held on to hope, even when it has felt paper thin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm now preparing for another round of IVF. This is my only chance to try again. Every part of the process, from medication to monitoring, from bloodwork to procedures, comes with costs that I cannot cover alone. What you've already given helped me get this far, and I'm deeply grateful. I'm now asking for you support again, both with hope and vulnerability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than anything, I want to bring a Jewish child into this world. Not just a baby, but a life shaped by our stories, our rituals, and our resilience. I want to share Shabbat dinners, the warmth of holidays together with family, and the stubborn strength that has carried our people through generations. I want this child to grow up knowing how deeply they were wanted and how fiercely I fought to bring them here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Infertility has taken so much from me. But it has not taken my determination. I still believe this is possible. If you can help, thank you. If you can share this, thank you. And if you are simply reading this, thank you for holding space for me.

<div>Original posting from fall 2024: Hi everyone! My name is Renee Liberman, and I'm on a journey to become a mom. Deep in my heart, I know that motherhood is my destiny, and I'm excited to welcome a beautiful new life into the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of the factors that inspired me to pursue fertility treatments was a previous misdiagnosis of infertility. This news was devastating, and it made me feel like my dream of becoming a mother was out of reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, after seeking a second opinion, I discovered that the initial diagnosis was incorrect. There was nothing physically wrong with me that was preventing me from getting pregnant. This realization was a turning point for me. It made me realize that I couldn't wait any longer to start a family. I knew that if I wanted to have a child, I needed to take proactive steps to make it happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started my fertility journey in May and had my egg retrieval in July. While I'm incredibly grateful for the quick progress I've made, I want to be honest about the challenges I've faced along the way. The egg retrieval, while successful on my left ovary, was unfortunately unsuccessful on my right side. Despite this setback, I'm grateful that 5 eggs were fertilized, leading to 3 embryos, 2 of which are chromosomally healthy!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My next step on this journey is an embryo transfer. While I'm thrilled about this opportunity, I've also faced significant financial burdens. Even with a loan and a small grant, the cost of fertility treatments has exceeded $25,000. To further reduce expenses, I recently sold my home of 13 years and moved closer to family, work, and potential daycare. I'm currently living with family to continue saving and preparing for the arrival of my little one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm proud of the journey I've taken so far, and I can't wait to welcome my child into the world. Many of you have asked how you can support me. I'm sharing my story in hopes of connecting with others who are going through similar experiences and providing support to one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you'd like to support me on my journey, please consider making a donation. Your generosity will help me cover the remaining costs of fertility treatments and create a loving home for my future child.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being a part of my journey.
</div>
