Frustrated and confused

Ok i guess i did not explain what i mean by raising money for treatments. I do not in any way plan to get free donations.
My goal is to be able to raise money by selling something. Ie: handmade jewelry.
I dont intend on holding a donation bucket in front of walmart or anything like that.
I am thinking of this on a business level.

As far as the comments made about the money being better spent on "medical needs", well my response is that there are already companies and foundations that raise money for that.

Since cf patients are now living longer and into adulthood we need more support with adult issues such as, marriage, starting families, raising familes, getting and holding jobs.
I am just wanting to help with the starting families part. We dont have much support in that area. We need a stronger avenue. This whole mission of mine is to help, not be greedy.

Can you work right now? What treatments are you looking into? We did IUI w/ Clomid, which was $600 a month. If you have a child and you have to put them in daycare, it's probably going to cost at least that much anyway, wouldn't it? So you'd need to be able to afford that amount of money anyway, if that makes sense. Or, for us, it was kind of the reverse - we won't have my income after we have a baby, so, because we can live of my husband's income, we were able to use my income to pay for IUIs.

I know this may not be helpful if you are looking at IUI + injectibles or IVF because those are considerably more expensive! But, wouldn't you at least start w/ IUI + clomid?

I have a friend who is raising money for her second IVF attempt by doing odd jobs such as cleaning houses on the weekends, baby sitting, painting houses, etc.

Unfortunetly i do not work right now. And definately will not work after the baby is born.
How did you get iui's so cheap. Every dr i call wants a consult fee, ultrasounds, lab work, the cost of the iui plus the costs of meds if any are needed. That all comes to about $1600 without meds. Of course if i need more than one treatment the consult fee would not be included so to repeat the test it would be $1300 without meds each time. So if i needed four treatments like you it would be around $5500 without meds.
And of course if all that doesnt work then i will be looking at the cost of ivf. The centers i have called are around $15,000.00 for ivf.
So you can see why im frustrated. If these prices are too high please let me know. Maybe i dont know enough places to call in california. But i am just going off of the places i have called.
Thanks for everyones help, i can sure use all the help and ideas right now!!

Ok figured out what im going to do. I am starting my own business making handmade jewelry. For now 2% of my profit is going to be donated to the cff. When my business flourishes i will then help other cfers with infertility treatments. I am so excited to have finally made a decision. I am also excited to help the foundation with high hope to eventually do what i originally was set out to do, help other cfers become parents. I hope it all works out!
