Royse City Couple Receives Hope Through IVF Grant

Ashly and Andy Flores from Royse City are feeling hopeful after getting a grant to help with their in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. The couple has dreamed of starting a family, but they faced a big hurdle when Ashly was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome as a teenager.

This rare condition means she can’t carry a baby on her own, even though her body can still produce eggs.

For a long time, the costs of IVF made it seem like having a child would be out of reach for them. Ashly shared, “In the last year, we started looking into IVF, but with the high costs and other complications, we had to put our dreams on hold.” Just when they thought it would be impossible, something incredible happened.

The couple learned they were recipients of a national IVF grant, thanks to a partnership between The Wyatt Foundation and The Conceive Fertility Foundation. Ashly described the moment she received the call, saying it felt surreal. “I applied for the IVF grant on a whim, and it was amazing to find out we were one of five chosen,” she recalled, tears of joy flowing as she received the news.

This grant is a game-changer for Ashly and Andy, allowing them to pursue their dream of having a child much sooner than they anticipated. They are not only closer to starting IVF, but they also have a surrogate ready to step in. Ashly’s best friend has offered to carry their baby, which is a huge blessing for them.

While Ashly’s friend is currently expecting her second child, the couple hopes to complete the IVF transfer by 2026. As they explore various fertility providers, the financial help from the grant has lifted a massive burden off their shoulders.

“This grant has been an incredible blessing, and it’s also a chance for us to raise awareness about infertility and how it affects families,” Ashly said. The Wyatt Foundation aims to help those in need by providing financial assistance for fertility treatments and funding research in this field.
