IVF Fundraiser for Chelsea and Ryan

Hi there!

We are Ryan and Chelsea White. We met at Busch Gardens in 2009, when we were 16 and 18 years old. We were married in October of 2016. Ryan is a firefighter and I am a nurse. We have two dogs, Buoy and Tiller-who are our world but we are just missing one thing...a baby. We have been trying to start a family for almost 5 years now. We have been through medication and IUI fertility treatments that were unsuccessful. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 13 and I was diagnosed with Endometriosis that has led to our infertility struggles. In December of 2020 I had surgery for my Endometriosis. Recently, the Endo pain has returned and the doctors believe my Endometriosis has come back. I was told that I have to have another Endometriosis surgery and then for us to begin IVF immediately following the operation for our best chance at conceiving. This journey so far has not been the easiest, between the physical, mental and financial burdens- but we are leaning on one another, our faith and our wonderful family and friends to get us through this. Our dream is to be able to have a baby and this plan will hopefully get us there. We want to thank you for you taking the time to read our story and we appreciate any donations, prayers, advice and well wishes!
