Help us Build Our Family Against the Clock

Our Story:

We are reaching out to you with what is undoubtedly the most humbling request we have ever had to make. We have been quietly fighting a relentless battle to build our family through IVF. But we have reached a point where we can no longer cross the finish line alone.

Biologically, our doctors are incredibly optimistic. However, because of age, we are fighting a strict statistical numbers game. To find the one healthy, genetically sound embryo, our medical team requires us to undergo multiple, back-to-back retrieval cycles.

We have the physical and emotional endurance to do this, but the financial runway has run out after 3 cycles.

IVF costs upwards of $20,000 per cycle. Compounding this challenge is the heartbreaking reality that most fertility grants and financial assistance programs place strict age limits for women using their own genetics. We are entirely aged out of traditional institutional help, despite having the medical profile needed for success.

We are used to being the ones solving problems and working hard to fund our own goals, so stepping into this space of vulnerability is difficult. We are setting up this fund simply to keep our medical timeline alive. Every contribution goes directly toward the clinic and laboratory fees required for our upcoming retrieval cycles.

If you are in a position to contribute, we cannot overstate our gratitude.

With deep appreciation, The O’Neills
