Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Shirley & Kristoffer
We knew getting married back in 2015 that we wanted to start a family right away, 3 months after we found out we were pregnant. We were so happy and excited, but that happiness and excitement turned into a devastating reality when we found out it was an ectopic...
Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Claudia & Sarah
Claudia and I have been together for a total of 5yrs (as of this January). We got married in 2019 and after our wedding we began talking about growing our family and wanting to start the process soon after that. Then covid-19 hit and we had to postpone our plans due...
Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Stella & Marlon

Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Daryl & Richard
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married going on four, and we’ve been trying to conceive for six and a half. When we decided to start trying, we thought it would happen pretty quickly after I went off my birth control, but a year later, we were going...

Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Jenna & Jason
We are so thankful for the support from Fertility Friends Foundation. It is so hard to put into words how much this will help, hopefully, complete our fertility journey. We were married in 2014 and tried for over a year before we went to our first doctor. We were...
Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Moyo & Deni
I grew up thinking painful periods were normal and I never thought to seek medical help up until the period pains grew worse over time. In 2018, I was rushed to the ER having excruciating period pain. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and...
Fall 2022 Grant Recipient, Isis
I’ve always wanted to be a mother. When the time was right for me, I wasn’t in a relationship. Sure, I’d dated men who wanted to make that happen for me but these were not men who I wanted to raise my child. And I never wanted to settle. Having met women in their 40s...
