Family Stories
Christine and Brett
“I have always wanted five children. Five – not four, not six, but five. We learned that without medical intervention, that number would likely be zero."
Christine and Brett tried for years to have a child before learning they would need IVF to help them make that dream a reality. But like many patients, they were stopped cold by the financial roadblock.
“Without being covered by insurance – infertility is not a required benefit of providers in Indiana – how will we find the money to expand our family? Without selling our home and uprooting our lives, where would we turn? Our doctor recommended reaching out the Coalition as a potential saving grace.”
Christine and Brett received a donated IVF cycle from our Partner Practice, SIRM-Central Illinois in Peoria, IL.
Their daughter Edaline (Eddy) Margaret Fuller was born November, 2017. And five years later, from that very same cycle, they welcomed twins, Abigail and Brynn!
