🤍🧁 CUPCAKE FUNDRAISER🧁🤍
It takes a village to raise a child... and in this case to help make one!
Let's be that village for Brigitte and Andy as they take their next steps in hope of becoming parents!

Brigitte and Andy's story follows
Over the past four years, we’ve been on a challenging fertility journey filled with hope, heartbreak, and resilience. After 15 months of IVF and multiple unsuccessful treatments, we've reached a point where we need to ask for help to continue.
We do not qualify for public funding and are planning for our second round of IVF, which comes with significant costs.
Sadly, due to a very low egg reserve, we’ve been told that continuing with Brigitte’s own eggs is no longer a viable option. We are now pursuing treatment using donor eggs, which offers renewed hope of finally starting our family. This option will be between $30,000 and $35,000.
So far, our journey has included:
Six trips to Christchurch which entailed:
-One procedure to assess fertility
-One egg retrieval surgery (We retrieved 8 eggs and created 5 embryos)
-Four embryo transfers (In May 2025 we transferred our last two low grade embryos)
-Our four embryos resulted in two miscarriages and two unsuccessful implantations.
We’re a down-to-earth, loving couple with so much to give. Brigitte is an early childhood teacher, and Andy is a builder. We live in Nelson with our sweet dog Ruby.
