Support Melissa & Brent’s Urgent IVF Journey!

Donation protected
My amazing twin sister, Melissa, and her husband, Brent, have been trying for a family without success. They recently found out devastating news about their fertility and urgently have to start ICSI, a form of IVF, to have the chance of conceiving their own biological child.

Ever since we were children, Melissa has wanted to be a mom! She is the best aunt to her nieces and nephews, was a wonderful nanny for many families growing up, and even temporarily stepped in to help a family in need with their newborn and cared for him for weeks.

To know Melissa and Brent is to love them. Melissa has served as a Labor and Delivery nurse for the past 7 years, helping parents' dreams come true and safely bringing new life into the world. They want nothing more than for it to be their turn now. Melissa and Brent have so much love, understanding, acceptance, and fun to give a child. Please consider helping them make their dreams come true. Any little bit helps.

  • First Phase: $16,388 - Freeze-All Embryo/PGS Testing. This includes monitoring visits, egg retrieval, fertilization ($12,255), trial transfer ($415), PGS biopsy ($1,768), and the Fertility Genetics PGS testing/shipping ($1,950) of up to 6 embryos.
