Natalie and Jamie have their whole lives ahead of them, they had dreams like most young couples – Get their first home, get married and have a couple of kids. Nothing to fanciful, the same dream that most young couples have.

In November 2019, they fulfilled their first part of their dream and managed to get their deposit for their first house and bought their ideal place.

A few weeks later days before Nat turned 30, she discovers a lump on her breast and sought medical advice, where she was given the devastating news that she had breast cancer. She was also told at that point, if they intended to have children they must harvest embryos as she would have to stay on medication after her treatment as there is a high chance of the cancer returning, however the medication will make it impossible for Nat to become pregnant or carry a baby and would need a surrogate to have children.

Nat had to go through Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy the loss of her hair, feeling awful and all the horrible side effects that come with these treatments, to make matters worse, she had to do this alone as the county was going through the Covid pandemic, having to attend hospital without any family support.

Nat was off work for around 18 months which she wasn’t paid for so you can imagine with saving for their new home and the expense that entails, the struggle they had when their income was more or less cut in half, life has been difficult!

Fast forward to 2023 Natalie, was given the all clear, her hair has started to grow back, and another part of their dream came true as they where married.

They now want to complete the final part of the jigsaw and start their family. They must now find a surrogate.

They have joined a surrogacy agency who can put them in touch with prospective surrogates, which has already cost them £1700.00 before they can even join the register. The Agency now tell them that although payment cannot be made to a surrogate to carry their child, they are entitled to “expenses” and to budget no less than £20,000 to complete the pregnancy.

If you could donate a small amount of cash to this page to help them achieve their dream, that would be amazing, however if you cannot it costs nothing to share the link and spread their story to others who may be able to, but just think one less glass of wine or beer is nothing to most people but by donating the cost of this will soon help get them on the road to becoming parents.

A huge thank you to all who can.
