So there is a blogger that I know (& you too) that is *this* close to being able to afford an FET but on her own it would take her about a year to afford it. And obviously the being sidelined because of (lack of) finances sucks ass. I have some time and am feeling very called to help this blogger not only because I adore her, but because I think it would be a wonderful way to start the year and a way to help put back some of the kindnesses that have been shown me and my little family.
I’m curious- is there anyone else out there that is willing to donate their time to brainstorming with me? Alone this sort of stuff can eat away at you and I just want this blogger to know that she is not alone.
THANK YOU to all that have left comments & e-mailed me. I have set up a google group for us to start planning. If you know of anyone else in our community that would like to participate (every little bit helps) please send them to this page or this page.

I’m sure there are many bloggers and others who have entered this TTC game who have been and will be in the same boat. All deserving! This economy hasn’t help make things any better even on the non TTC front.
Hey, Cali–I have done a fundraiser selling my baby hair clips and headbands (veryvioley.etsy.com), giving a % of proceeds to my friend’s son’s autism walk team. I’d be willing to do this again to help out this blogger. Email me!
You know I will!
I have no more meds to donate but I’m sure I can come up with something else. (need to see where Io is at, by the way, her blog has been quiet lately)
Hmm, this seems familiar…
I’m in. Email me.
Let us know! (And the image you chose was the one on our Holiday cards this year)
I’m in and I emailed you back!
I have no brain with which to storm, but if there’s anything I can do, say the word.
Let me know too! I am in for brainstorming or seeing how else I can help!
Can we do another round of ebay auctions? I’m sure we all have something we could donate to be sold for the cause…
I definitely have stuff I can donate for ebay auctions. I’m glad to help as much as I can, but my computer time is mainly taken up by reading at the moment, since I have a babe who does not want to be put down. (Took a while just to type this one handed.)
Where’s the donate button?
I’ll send some cash to help out a fellow blogger who wants to have a baby…As my son’s 4th birthday comes, I am uber conscious of what children can add to one’s life. And for those that the children don’t come easy, well they always have a special place in my heart.
I think I have some leftover progesterone and maybe some Estrace from my last FET. I’d love to give it to someone who needs it; it’s only a few months old. Also, I could give a little financially too.
I’ll do what I can – I’m thinking as I am typing how I can help!
I am not crafty but I would be able to donate some $$.
I will help! Who are we helping? What can I do?
I’d like to help/donate! I’ll keep checking here for more info.
You know I’m in with all other promotional stuff as well, but I just sent you my personal list.
