Kori & Josh's IVF challenge - Our last hope

Hey everyone,

If you've found yourselves here then you're probably curious about the heartbreaking struggles that Josh & I have been going through in a bid to start our family, which has taken us to our final step; IVF.

After privately funding my previous fertilty-related surgeries, we cannot afford to fund IVF privately, which has devasted our hopes of starting our own family.

Hence, we've turned to Givealitte in the hopes of aiding our journey in anyway possible.

At age 25/28, you wouldn't expect to be told that your chance of starting a family is next to nothing without fertility treatment. Sadly, that is our reality and we're doing all we can to make our dream of starting our family come true.

After being diagnosed with PCOS & defective fallopian tubes, and after countless privately funded surgeries to try and increase our chances at conceiving naturally, we sadly received the news that we need to undergo IVF and fallopian tube removal if we want any chance at having a baby. This also includes covering the cost of egg retrieval and storage.

This news was devasting for us and especially hard to hear as in NZ it will cost upwards of $25,000 to fund IVF treatment. Government funding towards IVF is very limited and so far we haven't been approved to receive help.

Any funds from Givealittle will be used to go towards appointments & tests & procedures as we embark on the next part of our fertility journey.

We are doing all we can to raise the funds to create our little miracle and really appreciate your help.

If you're unable to donate, we understand - feel free to share our funding page instead x

We really appreciate the support and love on our journey and wish you all well.

Love, trust and baby dust to us all xxx
