Family Stories
Paige and Charles
We are high school sweethearts who decided to elope to Vegas when Paige was 19 and Charlie was 21. A few months later we bought a house and started our journey to becoming parents. Being so young, we didn’t expect this journey to be nearly as difficult or long as it has been. After a year of trying, we decided to seek help. Here we are almost another year later and many unsuccessful cycles later and still no baby. Infertility is extremely difficult and emotional, but there’s also been many positive things that have come from it. We’ve both grown immensely as individuals and have strengthen our marriage infinitely. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated their time and money to provide us with this grant. We can’t wait to get started with our IVF cycle and find an end to this seemingly endless journey.
