Support Marcus and Didi's IVF Journey

Dear Friends and Family,

We're reaching out to our community to support our friends Marcus and Didi in their journey to become parents. After years of trying to conceive and numerous medical evaluations, they received the challenging news that Didi's fallopian tubes are damaged likely due to endometriosis, making natural conception impossible.

Their dream of becoming parents is still possible through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), but they face a significant financial hurdle. Unfortunately, their insurance does not cover the costly IVF treatments, and they have to bear the full financial burden of this medical procedure. They've made the decision to go into significant debt in order to start their family with the treatment, and it is our hope that this GoFundMe can relieve some of the financial pressure they feel.

Marcus and Didi have been on a long and difficult journey to reach this point of starting IVF. They officially began the long IVF process on Aug 26th and have secured 7 embryos, which are currently undergo testing. We now have the chance to support them as they take this important step toward building their family. Every contribution, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated and will directly fund their medical treatments. If you're unable to contribute financially, please share this campaign with your network - spreading the word is just as valuable.

The Cost Breakdown:

IVF Treatment - Doctor's fees, office visits, ultrasounds, egg retrieval surgery center fee and anesthesia: $5,654

Medications: $6,000 - $9,000

Bloodwork: $3,000 - $5,000

Embryology Lab Fee, ICSI, biopsy and storage: $8,700

Genetic Testing: $6,450

Embryo Transfer: $2,000

Total Cost: $31,804 - $36,804

We'll be sure to keep you updated as Fraggle and Didi continue on their medical journey, and thank you all for your generosity and support!

With love,

Matty and Allie Laurino
