I met my wife in 2020. We fell in love almost immediately and knew that we were meant to be together for the rest of our lives. We started planning out the rest of our lives together. We both already had children (Her having 2 and me having 1) but we really wanted to have a child together. We were suffering from infertility issues and decided to try IVF. In 2023 After 3 years and several losses we were finally able to have a successful IVF cycle which resulted in having 6AA Euploid Embryo! Coincidentally in the same month (July of 2023) she conceived. It was a massive shock and very exciting. Not only did we have an embryo from IVF but she was pregnant! We decided on the obvious which was to transfer the embryo a year after she gave birth to our daughter. The transfer took place in July of 2025 and was successful so now we have another little girl on the way. This journey was not without cost. We pooled our money together and paid for the IVF procedures over the years as well as buying a house for our family. I have a good job and have never been bad with money but I was not used to budgeting (much less for a family of 5). My mother-in-law taught me how to budget and manage our money so that we could live comfortably. During this time I was fighting in court for my oldest son and that ended up costing us thousands. I couldn't give up on him. Eventually we mediated and I am now able to see him substantially more than I was able to before. Unfortunately after all of that (even with budgeting) we were broke. I am now struggling to keep the bills paid, food on the table, and pay our mortgage. I do have a good job that gives great benefits for me and my family but even with that we have been slowly taking steps backward over the past 8 months. I don't want to lose our home which we worked so hard for and I don't want my children to be homeless. I am a hard worker and I try to be a good father and husband. I've tried making money with woodworking (which is one of my hobbies) and it was successful but on a very small scale in comparison to what my family needs (It's also relatively seasonal). I just know that if I am able to somehow come up with $10,000 that I can get my family back where we were before. It would put us back in a good place where I can continue to budget our money a month ahead. At the end of this year I am getting laid off from work for 10 months while the factory I work at is being retooled so I fear if we are not in a good place by then we will lose everything starting with our house. I am humbly asking for anything anyone can donate to get us out of the hole and back in business. I'm not used to asking for help but I have to take this chance now. I'm not the greatest writer so I appreciate if you read! Thank you!
