Help us piece together our puzzle!
A note from David & Ashley:
For those of you who may not know, we have been battling infertility for the past two years. We have endured countless tests, procedures, treatments and are now pursuing IVF. Unfortunately, although infertility is a medical condition which affects 1 in 8 couples in the U.S., treatments are not required to be covered by insurance in the state of Georgia. As you can imagine, with no insurance coverage treatment options can be very costly. While we are thrilled to take the next steps in building our family, the cost makes treatment seem unattainable. One round of IVF will cost us between 20-25 thousand dollars. Any donations received through this page will go directly towards helping us begin our IVF journey to ultimately bring baby Pence home. We are hopeful to begin this journey in the next few months with the support of friends and family.
This GoFundMe is supporting our Puzzle fundraiser! Every $10 donation goes toward a puzzle piece with your name on it!
For every $10 donated we will write the donors name on a puzzle piece. There is no minimum or maximum number of puzzle pieces you can fund. For example, a $100 donation would put your name on 10 puzzle pieces. We are hopeful to fill the puzzle we have purchased to the brim with names!
The front of the puzzle says, “You are loved beyond measure.” This is in reference to Romans 8: 38-39. This puzzle will be framed and displayed in future baby Pence’s room. One day when they are old enough to understand, we will be able to explain how all of the names written on the puzzle were from people who loved them before they were here with us and helped to get them here.
With a puzzle, all the pieces come together to achieve a goal. For us, this puzzle will symbolize all who came together with us for this journey to support us and our future family. It also is a symbol of how we feel we are missing a piece to our family puzzle and we hope to complete it soon.
Putting ourselves out there during this journey is not something that comes easy for us, but we feel that it is important for many reasons. We of course have a large financial mountain to move in order to begin IVF. We also want to be open and honest so others who are in the same boat battling infertility do not feel so alone. Eventually when we are on the other side of this, we would love to support others in the infertility community financially as we know first-hand how tough this can be.
Another way that you can support us during this time is through prayer. We know that we serve a miracle worker and truly believe in the power of prayer. We hope you will join with us as we pray for peace and guidance during this time.
