My husband, Sebastian, and I have been trying to conceive for five years, and the journey has been filled with both hope and heartache. After countless attempts and emotional ups and downs, we are now starting IVF to increase our chances of having a baby and finally starting the family we have dreamed of. This decision was not made lightly, but we are hopeful that this next step will bring us closer to our dream of becoming parents. The funds we raise will go directly toward covering all medical costs associated with IVF, including medications, cycle monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, ICSI, cryopreservation, and anesthesia. These expenses add up quickly, and while we have done everything we can to prepare, we know we cannot do this alone. Your support will help relieve the financial burden and allow us to focus on what matters most, growing our family. After many years of going through this together, we have opened our hearts to share our story with our family, friends, and those willing to support us through this next step in our journey. Supporting us can look different for everyone: sharing our journey with others to spread awareness, praying for us, donating funds, or however your heart leads you to support. We are grateful for any and all support through this challenging time in our lives. We have already received so much love from our family and friends, and know that we trust in God’s plan for us.
