Help the Black's grow their family through Surrogacy!

$13,445 of $30,000 goal
Given by 158 generous donors in one year

Surrogate, Surrogacy, infant loss, starting a family, IVF

Christchurch, Canterbury

My friends have faced a challenging journey to start a family. After three years of trying, they experienced the heartbreak of miscarriages. They discovered Candice has a medical condition complicating her ability to carry a pregnancy to full term. Their son, Hudson, sadly passed away at 24 weeks. Their next pregnancy, with son Angus, required careful monitoring and ended with a 104-day NICU stay. Sadly Angus' life was also cut short.

Now, they need a surrogate and IVF, which comes with a $30,000 cost. I am honored to be their surrogate. Your support, big or small, will help them achieve their dream. Any extra funds will be donated to the Little Miracles Trust.

Gutted that GIVE A LITTLE has a character limit so please read more about their story in the updates which explains in a better way their journey written in my words. The above is a summary to fit within the limits

I am their friend and their soon to be (all things going well) surrogate!

Use of funds

To cover a round of IVF, the cost of lawyers, counselling sessions and all the medial testes needed. Any left over funds will be donated to the Little Miracles Trust

IVF  12 June 2024

We are creeping closer to the halfway mark of the quarantine period for our embryos. It has been a long 6 weeks with lots of waiting and time filling to pass the time a little faster. Once the embryos come out of quarantine they will stay frozen until we have worked out a date that best suits Dani and James and us to try for our first transfer.

Thank you for the continued support in our journey hopefully Baby Black will be here soon.
