Hello, my name is Anthony and my wife’s name is Shayla. For over seven years we have been trying to start a family with no success. What we thought would be a joyful and natural journey has unfortunately turned into a very difficult one filled with heartbreak, disappointment, and unexpected expenses.

Month after month we held onto hope that we would finally see a positive pregnancy test. Sadly, each month has brought more disappointment. After many doctor visits and extensive testing, we were told that our chances of conceiving naturally are very low.

Our doctors have told us that we have a very good chance of becoming parents through IVF with ICSI. While this gives us hope, the reality is that each IVF cycle costs around $15,000 to $20,000, which is something we simply cannot afford on our own.

Becoming parents has always been one of our biggest dreams in life. We dream of seeing ourselves in our child, raising them in a loving home, and experiencing the joy of building a family together. After so many years of trying, the thought of finally holding our baby in our arms almost feels too good to be true. If I could give everything I own for the chance to have a family, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Starting this GoFundMe has not been easy for us. I hate asking anyone for help, especially strangers who owe us nothing. But we are holding onto hope that with the kindness and support of our community, friends, family, and even strangers, this dream could become a reality.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. And if you are not able to donate, simply sharing our story and fundraiser would help more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us on this difficult journey. We are incredibly grateful to anyone willing to help us pursue our dream of becoming first-time parents and building the loving family we have always hoped for.
