Keren Ohr: A Ray of Light in the Darkness of Infertility

Tax deductible
At Keren Ohr our goal is to provide emotional support, strength, and resolve to couples experiencing challenges on their path to parenthood. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 20% of people worldwide struggle with some form of infertility. Even after conception, tragically 1 out of 8 pregnancies will result in a miscarriage, as per the National Health Service of the United Kingdom. When those experiencing fertility issues do successfully conceive, their risk of miscarriage rises exponentially. Coupling this with the emotional maelstrom of endless doctor visits, expensive and painful IVF treatments, hormone therapies, and the feelings of being misunderstood, embarrassed, and alone results in the devastation of the relationship of a couple who simply want to share love and bring life into the world.

This is where Keren Ohr comes in. We know what these couples are going through because we ourselves have been through the years of hoping, waiting, struggling to start a family. We suffered alone through our journey but are determined that no one else will ever have to. Keren Ohr offers those still struggling with infertility an oasis of peace - a beautiful retreat where couples can rest, restore emotional well-being, and heal. Whether nestled in the woods or overlooking the ocean, each unique home is secluded, tranquil, and outfitted to pamper those who so desperately need a respite. These homes are made available so that couples can reconnect and revitalize without the cares and stresses of their journey to parenthood so that when they are ready, they will continue along their path with resolve.

More staggering than the cost of providing these services is the sheer number of couples who have to be turned away due to lack of availability and limited resources. Who takes priority? The couple facing their sixth miscarriage? The newlyweds struggling to cope with the news of a stillborn? The couple devastated by another failed round of IVF? Or those who are emotionally broken because they simply won't be able to have children? The decision is an impossible one, but it doesn't have to be. Please partner with us and may we together be a Keren Ohr, a ray of light for those drowning in the darkness of infertility.
