Gifting the dream of building a family

One out of eight couples you know will experience infertility . . . 

Gray & Erin are the 1 out of 8 couples you know.  

But we aren't your only friends/family members affected. It is also your friend who seeks a child without a partner, your LGBTQ friend and your friend who is a Cancer survivor.  We all have to receive infertility treatments in some form.

Clearly, infertility doesn't discriminate. We all equally seek the same dream to build a family but the path to conception is not equal for all. 

While maternity and newborn care are considered essential benefits under most health plans, infertility care is not. As a result, infertility treatment isn't always covered and if it is, more often not, there is a lifetime maximum benefit leaving those undergoing treatment with major out of pocket expenses.

Did you know that one round of IVF roughly costs $25,000 from start to finish? Did you know that it often takes multiple rounds? 

While we can't takeaway the pain, frustration and loneliness that this journey can cause, we can help make it financially affordable for all.

Help us make a difference by donating to the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation. This foundation provides information support and financial assistance to help needy infertile families OVERCOME infertility. 

We ask you give because ....

• You didn't have to receive treatment to grow your family. 
• You did have to receive treatment, but you were fortunate enough to have insurance coverage and/or the financial means to shoulder the cost. 
• It's happening all around you to your friends, family, colleagues & neighbors even if you aren't hearing about it as these personal struggles are often not shared.

How much should you give?

• 1 Day of Medication Surrounding a Embryo Transfer Costs ~$25 
• 1 Month of Vitamins Costs ~$50
• 1 Trigger Shot Costs ~$75
• 1 Therapy Session ~$100
• 1 Infertility Acupuncture Session Costs ~$150
• 1 Infertility Massage Session ~$200
• 1 Day of IVF Stimulation Medication for Egg Retrieval Costs ~$300
• 1 Day of Monitoring & Blood Work Costs ~$400
• 1 Entire Round of Medication Surrounding a Embryo Transfer Costs ~$1,000
• 1 Round of Genetic Testing Costs ~$3,400
• 1 Embryo Transfer Costs ~$4,000
• 1 Entire Round of Stimulation Medication for a Egg Retrieval Costs ~$5,000
• 1 Round of IVF Egg Retrieval Costs ~$10,000

While our journey has been a long road, we are very fortunate as we were able to endure this cost with great insurance benefits and well paid jobs. But more importantly, we couldn't have gotten through this without the unwavering support of our family, friends and every single person who bravely opened up to us about their own personal struggles to conceive. 

We want to ensure others receive the same the opportunities that we did to see their dreams to grow their families come true.
