Yesterday I shared the story from the gorgeous Santanna. I shared that we talked last week and it was so amazing talking to her. Santanna is one of 5 women who volunteer their time and work for Bundled Blessings Fertility. If you are going through infertility you NEED to know about Bundled Blessings.
The women at Bundled Blessings are all infertility warriors. They know first hand the pain, heartache, loneliness, and financial burden that comes with infertility. They raise awareness about infertility and also provide grants to families diagnosed with infertility to assist with treatment, adoption, and surrogacy costs. *cue ugly cry* It is such a selfless and inspired thing to do. This is their third year offering grants to couples at an annual event. In three years 11 grants have been given, 4 babies born, 1 adoption and 3 are on the way! They are changing the lives of families!
This year they are having 2 events. The first one is in Pleasant Grove, Utah on September 8th. The second is in Boise, Idaho on November 10th. It sounds like such an amazing night and I plan on participating in one or maybe both events.
Right now the grant applications for both UT and ID are OPEN! Bundled Blessings Fertility Foundation grants are funded through private and corporate sponsors throughout the year. There is a $75 processing fee for your application. Couples need to have an infertility diagnosis and also show a financial need. The night is also filled with a catered dinner, inspiring speakers, and a dinner auction that is added to the grant amounts. At the event, grants will be chosen blindly through a lottery and you need to be at the event to claim your grant.
The events are such an amazing opportunity to not only receive possibly financial help through a grant, but also to continue to grow the infertility community. I am so grateful for all the women, and couples I have been able to meet the past 2 years. It is such a strong, loving, and joyful community. I hope that I can meet some of you at the Bundled Blessings events!! Go to their website for more information, fill out your own grant application, or donate to their organization.
