Help! We need IVF to start a family and we need your kindness xxx

Gisborne

Stu and I need your help!

Over the last 2 years we have been trying to have a baby with no joy.

We sought help through Fertility Associates NZ and after alot of poking and prodding it has been confirmed I will not be able to conceive naturally. Yes, miracles can happen, but due to my age, low egg count, and possible other reasons it's unlikely, and we don't have time on our side.

We now need to go through IVF to be able to have children, and although it is not promised, I am hoping and praying it works.

The down side is its expensive 😔 and short of selling our vehicle we simply cannot afford it.

This is where I feel awkward and embarrassed, but we could really use your help.

The treatment is going to cost $16,500 for one round of IVF, and due to my infertility being "unexplained" we do not qualify for government funding (ridiculous I know).

I have applied for a grant with gingernuts angels who fundraise for couples like ourselves who have unexplained infertility, but unfortunately they are not issuing grants at this stage as they are fundraising.

This is where you come in...

Any, and I mean ANY donation no matter how small would be a huge help to us and would get us on our journey to having a family.

If you cant donate please could you share this to your friends and family, as the more people who see it the better.

I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this and I hope we can share some good news with you all soon.
