From Fall 2020:
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but sometimes, it takes a village to make one, too.
We are Glenn and Tara, and we are 1 in 8. Over the past four years, we have struggled with unexplained infertility, a medical condition in which we have a 1% chance of ever conceiving naturally.
After recommendations from our team of reproductive endocrinologists, we are turning to IVF in the fall.
Although insured, our insurance company has not covered fertility treatments and will not cover the huge financial costs of IVF. As of 2020, we have spent over $20,000 on fertility-related care. Our expected costs for one round of IVF (including all the required procedures and one frozen embryo transfer) is approximately $30,000.
Along with the emotional heartbreak and devastation that infertility brings, we have been facing these financial hurdles to try to grow our family. We have worked incredibly hard to get through these difficulties, but the costs of IVF (and adoption) are immense. We have applied to numerous grants over the years, to no avail, so it is with our hearts in our hands that we turn to our village of friends and family to ask for help. ♥
We have started a GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/f/help-tara-...) to help us get closer to starting our family. Any contribution is hugely appreciated. ♥ For every donation received, we will write your name on a wooden heart that will be framed and displayed in our baby's room. The hearts signify the love, support, and generosity that was given to help us become parents and bring our babies home.
We know times are hard for so many, especially now. So, if you are unable to give, we appreciate your prayers and positivity.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations, encouragement, and ongoing support. ♥ We have been given the best village, and we are so grateful for each of you.
