<div>Hi everyone,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re John and Haley, and we’re sharing something deeply personal because it’s also deeply important to us. For some time now, we’ve been on a journey to grow our family. After a year of trying to get pregnant with no success, John began fertility testing, including semen analyses, hormone testing, and genetic testing. The results showed that he has severe oligospermia, though doctors couldn’t identify a specific cause. Because of this, our doctors have recommended IVF (in vitro fertilization) as our best and possibly only path forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As many of you know, IVF is a wonderful but expensive process, sometimes requiring more than one attempt. We are have started the process with Wilmington Fertility Center and were told to be prepared for roughly $35,000 but exact price could vary. The cost breakdown is as followed:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>IVF Cycle- Ultrasound, hormone monitoring, egg retrieval, sperm preparation, anesthesia, embryo transfer, post op care: $9,000

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Initial Work up- Includes ultrasound, bloodwork, semen analysis, follow visits, biopsy- $1,575

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>IVF cycle freeze- includes ultrasound, hormone monitoring, egg retrieval, sperm preparation, anesthesia, post op care, embryo storage- $8,625

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>IVF cycle thaw- Includes pre-op, ultrasound, hormone monitoring, embryo transfer, post-op care- $ 4,125

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Embryo biopsy- Includes biopsy of 10 embryos- $2,000

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Medication- Includes all medication needed-  $3,000-$6,000

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Other costs associated with IVF- includes ICSI, embryo freezing, additional anesthesia, assisted hatching- $6100

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Total Cost- $34,425-$37,425

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While we are doing everything we can financially, this journey can place a heavy burden. That’s why we’ve decided to open up and allow those who feel moved to support us to be part of our story.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is not easy to share—asking for help never is—but we know many of you care about us, and some of you have even asked how you could support us. This GoFundMe is simply a way to make that possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We want to be clear:

</div>

<div>	•	Your love and encouragement mean just as much as financial help.

</div>

<div>	•	Donations are never expected, only appreciated.

</div>

<div>	•	Your support—whether it’s a contribution, a prayer, or just kind words—helps us feel less alone on this path.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We believe that one day we’ll be able to look back and tell our child about the love, generosity, and community that helped bring them into the world. That thought fills our hearts with gratitude.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for being part of our lives in whatever way feels right to you.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love,

</div>

<div>John and Haley

</div>
