Help heal Stacey's broken heart 💔 Elijah was her life.

$10,690 of $10,000 goal
Given by 59 generous donors in around 6 months

As Stacey's family & close friends we would like to help her have another opportunity at IVF & start the process of healing her broken heart

International

Staceys heart is broken. Elijah has passed away at 35 weeks in the womb.

After a costly, grueling and incompetent IVF experience here in NZ, which resulted in one failed pregnancy and one miscarriage at 9weeks, Stacey found a reputable IVF clinic in Greece that specialise in the tranfer of donor embryos to women who are having issues conceiving naturally. The pregnancy was a success!

Stacey carried her baby boy Elijah to 35weeks. However, Elijah started showing signs that he was in trouble at 34 weeks, and though the professionals said he was OK, a few days later he passed away in her womb. Stacey ended up giving birth naturally 3 days later. She is devastated by Elijah's passing. Her heart will forever be broken by his death. I don't think I can adequately convey the extent of Stacey's brokenness, she was so close to her dream of holding and loving her warm wriggly chubby-cheeked boy. It is every pregnant Mother's nightmare.

Her hearts desire is to try again and this is the only thing that gives her hope.

She is determined, and we admire her superwoman grit, even as she grieves the passing of her son.

Many kind hearts have asked us how can they help Stacey in this dark time. Your love, support and prayers have been greatly appreciated and overwhelming ❤️ We feel that if we all rally together, we could give her another shot at fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Sara Farmer's involvement (page creator)

This page has been created by Stacey's sisters, Sara Farmer, Leah Austin & Deborah McInnes, with the help of Stacey's best friend, Jaydene Chapman.

Use of funds

The goal is for x2 donor embryos in one IVF transfer this September in Greece, at the same successful IVF clinic. Each egg has upto a 50% success rate. This will help cover half the costs of the process.

Anything raised will towards this and anything raised over the goal will go towards a private obstetrician in NZ for Stacey.

I still struggle to look at the give a little page because it's just soo triggering but I wanted to take a moment to say this.

I have been Soo blessed and still very touched by peoples generosity, compassion and love .

I truly just wanted to give up after Elijah passed but some beautiful people, family and friends just didn't let me .

I know I survived because of every single kind thing whether it was a kind words of encouragement a prayer, meal and generosity.

I wouldn't have been able to get another round of IVF if it wasn't for all of you .

I'm pregnant now ❤️ because of everything you all have put in 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you Soo much from all of my heart , I could not be pregnant right now if it wasn't for you . I'm eternally grateful.
