Shernique & Javier's IVF Journey

Organised by Shernique Charles Jarvis · September 30, 2026

My name is Shernique Charles Jarvis and I live on the small Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda. After two heartbreaking miscarriages and four years of unexplained infertility, my doctors have now recommended IVF as our best chance to conceive. While this brings hope, it also comes with a heavy financial burden. Living in the Caribbean makes it even more challenging, as the exchange rate is 3:1 USD to XCD ( Eastern Caribbean Dollars), which significantly increases the cost for us. I am applying for a second time with faith hoping that we are the successful applicants this time around.

How we'll use the funds: This grant would assist in covering the treatments, blood tests, plane tickets, accommodation and/or any miscellaneous costs associated with this journey.

What this would mean to us: Having children as always been a joy not only to us, but to our parents.
