Renee K

My name is Renee, and I am 37 years old. My husband and I are blessed with a beautiful 4-year-old daughter but have longed to grow our family. Every Shabbat, our daughter prays to Hashem, asking for a baby brother or sister. After trying to conceive for two years, we decided it was time to pursue IVF.

Unfortunately, our insurance didn’t cover fertility treatments, and the out-of-pocket costs were overwhelming. We didn’t want to burden family or friends by asking for money and felt completely lost. Then, a friend told me about JFLA and Feit 4 Kidz Loan Fund offering interest-free loans for fertility treatments. We applied immediately, and the process was so quick and simple. We were shocked by how fast our loan was approved, and for the first time in two years, I felt a sense of hope and relief.

Thanks to the loan, we were able to afford one round of IVF. Despite being diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve and Endometriosis, we remained hopeful. After the egg retrieval and genetic testing, we had one genetically normal embryo. We prayed daily for our miracle baby, and to our joy, our prayers were answered—the transfer worked! B”H, we are now 28 weeks pregnant* with our miracle baby.

We are beyond grateful to JFLA and Feit 4 Kidz Loan Fund for making this possible. Your support lifted a tremendous weight off our shoulders and brought hope back into our lives. Thank you for helping us grow our family—you are truly doing Hashem’s work!
