Removing the financial burden of infertility by providing family-building grants. As a result, 85% of infertility patients are self-pay.
Infertility affects 13.5% of all married, childless women and 1 out of 6 couples. Those individuals battling infertility not only face not only an emotional journey, but a financial journey as well. Unfortunately, only 11 states (not including Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana) have an insurance mandate that requires employers to include IVF coverage in their health plans. Parental Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to raise infertility awareness and provide financial assistance to those battling infertility. Parental Hope has an exclusive partnership with the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati, Ohio (IRH) to support its mission to alleviate the financial burden of IVF by awarding the Parental Hope Family Grant. Parental Hope is a 100% voluntary organization (no salaries!) to ensure as much money raised and contributed to Parental Hope is given to those individuals who need it the most.

Meet our newest Grant Recipients, Ashley & Christian from Highland, OH.
Ashley and Christian have been together since middle school sweethearts and have now been happily married for 7 years. Active in their church and surrounded by a strong support system of family and friends, they’ve built a life rooted in faith, love, and hope (plus their three pups and a love for camping and golf!).
After trying to grow their family for years, multiple rounds of letrozole, IUI, and a heartbreaking IVF cycle in 2023 that ended in a failed transfer, they took time to heal emotionally and financially. In 2025, they found renewed hope through the Institute of Reproductive Health and Dr. Robertshaw, who recommended another round of IVF.
Now, as recipients of the Grandma Martha Parental Hope Family Grant, Ashley and Christian are stepping into this next chapter with grateful hearts and a fresh sense of possibility. 💛

✨ Parental Hope Grant Recipient Spotlight ✨
Today we introduce you to Lyndze and Daniel from Jackson, KY.
For 15 years, Lyndze and Daniel have walked a long and emotional road toward growing their family. Married straight out of high school, they began their life together with big dreams of children and a home filled with joy. What followed was not the path they imagined, but one that shaped them with incredible strength and resolve.
Their journey has included countless medicated cycles, three IUIs, two rounds of IVF, and unimaginable loss. They endured three miscarriages and the heartbreaking late-term loss of their son, Grayson Daniel, who was born at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Though his time here was brief, Grayson’s legacy is profound and everlasting.
In his honor, Lyndze and Daniel founded a nonprofit to support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, transforming grief into purpose and reminding others they are never alone.
“This is why Parental Hope’s mission resonates so deeply with us. They truly understand the pain of infertility and loss and advocate tirelessly for families like ours. We are incredibly grateful to Parental Hope for this IVF grant and for giving us something we have fought so hard to hold onto: hope.”
Lyndze and Daniel, your story is a powerful reminder that love endures, even in the hardest chapters. We are proud to support you. 💕

With one in eight couples suffering from infertility and 7.3 million women requiring infertility treatment during their reproductive years—according to the National Survey of Family Growth—infertility has become a pervasive and silent tormentor, often shrouded in secrecy and shame. Impacting men and women alike, infertility does not discriminate and can have devastating long-term effects, physically, emotionally, and financially.
For those struggling with infertility the battle can be all consuming. In addition to the toll it can take on a woman’s body and the emotional dejection of multiple failed cycles, the financial burden placed on couples battling infertility cannot be overstated. The average cost of one-round of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in the United States is $12,500 not including medication costs, which can range from $1,000-$5,000 per round of IVF. And, because IVF is not guaranteed to result in pregnancy, many couples may require multiple rounds to become pregnant.
The burdens imposed on a couple battling infertility are enormous. Because infertility is a little-known and often misunderstood disease, those diagnosed with infertility can feel isolated and alone. Parental Hope’s mission is to raise infertility awareness and provide emotional and financial support to hopeful couples battling infertility. We do that in the following ways:
1. Through the Parental Hope Family Grants, we help alleviate the financial burden of infertility.
2. Through various events and public outreach, Parental Hope advocates for those struggling with infertility by raising awareness and educating the public.
3. Through quarterly peer-led support, Parental Hope helps alleviate the emotional burden of couples battling infertility.
Parental Hope is an organization operated by individuals who have personally battled and overcome infertility. The working board, none of whom receive a salary from Parental Hope, are dedicated to supporting those battling infertility, and raising awareness in the community.
