We are here because we know what family means. Everything. Anyone can be challenged to grow their family. Regardless of race, religion, sexuality or economic status, infertility doesn't discriminate. Infertility is not just a medical issue, but a fight for a DREAM.
The lack of infertility insurance coverage and high out of pocket cost for treatments (IVF, IUI, egg and sperm donation) can be prohibitively expensive, preventing many from the opportunity to conceive a child. The average cost for just one IVF cycle is $15,000-$20,000 including medicine. And many couples require multiple cycles to get pregnant. Despite all the stress during infertility treatments, having access to afford them is truly a blessing. It is heartbreaking that anyone ends up missing out on the unconditional love and lifelong experience of parenthood due to a lack of financial resources needed just to conceive. Our financial grants, up to $15,000 per individual, seek to remove this financial barrier.
Additionally, the Stork Foundation is committed to bringing awareness to an issue that normally isn't talked about, and compassion for the emotional struggles of those diagnosed with infertility as well as those currently undergoing infertility treatments. Many with infertility feel shame and remain silent as a consequence, leaving them isolated and unsupported during a difficult period of their lives. By spotlighting others infertility stories, we hope to demystify and bring infertility out of the shadows, discuss it more, and help society view it like any other medical issue, while also offering hope and a community of support for those struggling on their journey to build a family.
