Can anyone help us to make our dream come true?

Hello,
This may sound strange or even "cold" when people are asking for money to food, bills etc but i (me and my husband to be) have another problem but it involves money, money we don't have...

In 1998 i got sterilized after having my youngest son (i have 4 children) as i was in a really really bad relationship back then. Childrens father is an alcoholic and me and the kids moved away from him after he threaten to kill us! Yes, you read right, he told us he wanted us dead so, we moved out really quick.
After that, we lived alone for quite some time, me and the children BUT now i have a new man in my life, a good man, that loves me and my children and we love him and his 2 sons...
We can support a big family like this, but we would love to have one or two more children but with my surgery it is impossible without trying "tubal ligation reversion" or IVF. The thing is that we can't afford this as it is a huge cost for us (and the time for me is really running out as i will be 45 this year) and as almost everyone else in the world, we all suffer from the economic situations in our countries. All in all, we are missing about 5000USD for a chance to make our dream come true and I hope there is someone out there that feels that they can support us economically in anyway, a small amount is better than nothing and with luck, we might be able to be a "whole" family, me/my kids and he and his 2 sons + a child together...that would complete our family and i would always be thankful to the people that might want to help us, you would really make our dream come true.

Thank you for taking time to read all this

Feel free to participate in this public group space.

Two easy ways to do this:

  1. Add a comment or a question here - on this page... or on any other page in this space.
  2. Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.

Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.

About Victor Strakhov

November, 24, 2006 was the worst day of our life. In that day our beloved son, Alesha; was prematurely taken from us. He was far and way the most important person in our life. 
In his 15 years Alesha had developed into a well rounded individual. He, as if knowing about the brief opportunity he would have at life, celebrated life with gusto. He was interested in amateur radio and computer programming; he enjoyed serious literature and played the guitar.   He even composed his own musical scores using his computer. They say the brightest stars burn the shortest; he was our star.
On November, 24, 2006, competing with friends at a school activity, Alesha died from a rare heart condition.

How to go on? 

Heaven forbid anybody outlive their children!
Over the next year Olga and I struggled to come to terms with our loss, we lived in a fog.  We just couldn’t believe he was gone.  Our unfamiliar world felt strange and empty like an unreal nightmare that never stopped.  Our world felt like it was like it had come to an end in every respect.
It took a year for our emotions to settle down and for us to consider how to move forward.

 We Want a Child!

We have been trying to have a child more than a year.  Although nothing can replace our beloved Alesha; giving live to a new child will again give purpose to our lives. Over the last year we have tried traditional fertility methods; when that didn’t work we even sought out assistance from licensed medical professionals; however our efforts have been in vain. A couple of months ago doctors introduced us to the idea of IVF (in-vitro fertilization) procedure. Unfortunately, despite the fact that both my wife and myself work professional jobs, the cost of such program is unattainable for us. We are not in a position to take a loan, due to our current mortgage. For the past year all backlogs went away on doctors and medications. Government program of support of people, needing genesial technologies, is not working for us, due to our age...
 

Will we really have to give up on our dream? Will money really become an insurmountable obstacle to us giving a new child life?  We thought; maybe, will there are people who would be willing to help us? Then we decided to develop this page.

 

Due to our ages the probability of success on one attempt is low.  Our physicians recommended a series of procedures that will cost around 10,000 dollars. I have already taken out loans to a total of $4000.  Although we are willing to contribute every cent available to us we are not capable of putting together the entire sum. 

If you have any information on international grant programs or aid programs we would be grateful.

Thank you for your prayers and assistance. 

God Bless You

One Baby Please!!

We have been trying to get pregnant for the past 6 years. We have been to every doctor we know and have racked up many bills. On friday the doctor told us the only way we can have a baby is to do IVF. We are maxed out on bills from all the past doctors and can not afford to pay for invitro. We are asking for help! I am not asking for funds but for assistance in how to get IVF at discounted prices or anything which will help us. Please help give us our dream.A Baby!
Always,
Amanda and Mario Murguia

Infertifily

I am looking for aid, grants, scholorships, etc. to assist my husband and I to have our dream baby.  Unfortunantly, I have fertility issues and require IVF for this to happen.  This procedure is not covered under insurance, and it is very costly.  Any advice, help, and prayers are welcome,  Thanks, Heather

My Infertility battle

My husband and I met at work in 1996 and were married in March 2000. We knew that we both wanted children but not right away, we said we would wait for close to five years.  My sister-in-law got pregnant and had her first daughter in June 2000, holding her in my arms and helping to take care of her made me decide I wanted a child much sooner than five years, however convincing my husband was a much harder task.

 We still had not decided to start trying when I missed my period. I took several pregnancy test's but they all came back negative. The Doctor sent me for a blood test and it came back negative after three days. In the time we waited for the test results we got comfortable with the idea that we could be pregnant and we were both disappointed when we were not. My husband finally decided it would be okay with him if we started really trying. I went to the my ob/gyn who did her own blood test for pregnancy as well as hormones and other tests these all came back normal with no pregnancy and I was sent to have an Ultrasound done which showed a cyst on my left ovary.  From that point on my cycle has never been the same.  My doctor, ran her own tests and they all pointed to lack of ovulation. The next step was to start Clomid, The doctors will only go to 200mg before they require you to see a specialist; we were at 200mg and decided to see the specialist when we discovered that I was pg with my son.  We were ecstatic but also very nervous, since just a while previously my sister in law lost her second child just a few days before she was to give birth and we had no idea why this happened.

When my son was 1 1/2 we found out that I had spontaneously gotten pg a second time only for it to end in a miscarriage at 10 weeks.  Once my body had recovered we started trying again, we started with Clomid again but my GYN could only start at the beginning even though the low doses did not work last time, after a few months of this I decided to go back to the RE we had started to see when I found out I was pg with my DS.  We did several tests and found that my right tube is closed as well as the fact that I do no ovulate on my own, she says that reproductively I am a mess and is amazed at the fact that I got pg without major help.  She suggests going directly to IVF, but we don't have $15,000-$30,000 to just toss around.  There is only a 50/50 chance with IVF, but the other methods are getting expensive too.  We have also thought of adoption which is expensive as well as not our own child, we decided that adoption would be our last choice.  We have also looked in to Surrogacy which is even moree expensive and hard to hold up in court where we live.  I have been doing some combo of oral meds and injectable meds for three years now and I am just getting so tired of all of it, the emotional stress of the process and every lost cycle is getting harder to deal with.  People including family always ask if we are going to have more.  It seems like everyone around me is either pg or just had a baby, my son even asks when he sees other kids with their littler siblings why he does not have a baby too and this just breaks my heart.  I am asking for any amount of money to get us toward the goal of $15,000 to pay for one round of IVF.

 

My infertility has made me feel like a failure like I'm lost, alone, pointless and useless.  I feel as if I have let my husband down.  Many people say that it will come when the time is right, this is a nice idea but it is very painful to see people everyday in the news, which have abandoned, neglected or even killed their own children and I who want another child to love a care for have to go through hell to maybe get there.  I also know a few people who have their own miracle babies that were never supposed to be able to have children and, believe me I count my blessing every day to have my angel with me everyday I just wish I could share that love with another child.
