Help towards a well deserving family raise money for their IVF journey.

Hawke's Bay

Rebecca & Jake is always there for family and friends to offer support and sympathy. I know they have had to deal with questions, pain and emotions I can't even begin to understand. I recognize times are tough for everyone at the moment so please don't feel obligated to donate but we will be thankful for anything we receive to help them towards having their own bundle of joy.

Below is their story:

My husband & I have been together for 15 years. 8 of those years we have struggled with infertility. Since we have been together, we have always discussed + wanted to have a family of our own. I have been diagnosed with PCOS, a low ovarian reserve & recently after a few miscarriages been told I have a positive marker of ANA (auto immune disease), my husband too was diagnosed with azoospermia. We were told the devastating news that natural conception was not possible & IVF was the only way. The past few years we have had to undergo weight loss, numerous tests, operations & 2 rounds of IVF in which we had 3 pregnancies that unfortunately ended in 3 miscarriages. Our doctor has recommended that the next round we do what is called Colorado protocol which consist of a combination of medications that may mitigate the subtle impacts of auto immune conditions.

This all results in even more cost on top of an already expensive treatment.

We desperately want to become parents + would do anything to have a baby of own, I feel this is our last hope.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
