Love Makes a Family, and Community Brings It to Life
To all of our family, friends, and loved ones:
We, Anna and Anna-Lisa, are a couple on a heartfelt journey to grow our family.
Parenthood has been a remarkable part of our relationship, and we’re so excited to be taking the next big step to add to our family through fertility treatments. We started with four rounds of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), which costs nearly $18,000. After four failed attempts, our medical team recommended beginning with IVF.
This path to parenthood represents more than just building a family—it’s about creating a space filled with love, acceptance, and joy. It’s about growing as a family and adding to the world.
We ask for your support in funding the IVF process. The costs of fertility treatments are significantly high, at nearly $25,000 per cycle. While we’ve saved and tried our best to plan, the reality is that we sometimes face unexpected changes, and building a family as an LGBTQ couple comes with unique challenges, both emotional and financial. With your help, we can continue this exciting step toward welcoming a child into our lives.
Why We’re Asking for Your Support:
IVF costs about $25,000 per cycle but has over an 80% chance of pregnancy.
Your contributions will help cover:
- Fertility consultations and monitoring appointments: Essential to ensuring we have the best possible outcome.
- Hormonal treatments, medications, and egg retrieval: Preparing the body, and retrieving healthy embryos.
- Donor sperm and IVF procedures: Each cycle involves significant medical expenses.
Why This Fundraiser Means So Much to Us:
This isn’t just about finances; it’s about love and community. This child will grow up knowing they were brought into the world with the support of an incredible network of family and friends. Every dollar, share, or kind word is hope for the future we’re building together.
How You Can Help:
- Contribute: You can donate on GoFundMe or Venmo @anna-becker-2
- Share Our Story: Help us spread the word to others who believe love makes a family.
- Send Us Your Love: Your words of encouragement mean everything as we step toward growing our family for the first time as a couple.
Our Promise to You:
We’ll keep you updated on every step of the journey. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, navigating challenges, or (hopefully!) announcing the arrival of our little one, you’ll be with us every step of the way.
Thank you for helping us build a family rooted in love, inclusion, and joy. We can’t wait for the day when we’ll hold our baby in our arms and tell them about the incredible community that made their arrival possible.
With all our love,
Anna, Anna-Lisa, and our daughter, Evie
