Why are they seeking donations? There are foundations that fund these things with grant monies.

Two words: Infertility insurance. Or, they could find jobs where the companies have infertility coverage, that's how we were able to afford the procedures.

This kind of begging disgusts me. I'm sorry about their situation but life isn't fair.

They are too young and haven't been trying long enough for IVF. In addition to this, they should find other ways to fund this rather than asking for handouts.

"They also learned it would cost $15,000. Shelton, 26, works in publications at Cessna, and Brandi, 25, is an advertising account executive."

They can't come up with 15 grand between the two of them??? I'm sure they can but they'd rather receive handouts. Disgusting.

I could think of plenty of other strangers/people to donate money too. For example, there is a lady at church who has two children with Chari's Malformation. Her husband abandoned them a few years back when the mother found out she had cervical cancer. He traded her for a younger, healthier model, the bas***d. I digress, I'd rather give her money to cover what their insurance doesn't.

If the Koskies think they can't afford the $15,000, why do they think they can afford to raise a child in this day and age?

I don't understand why they just can't pay it themselves as they are both working.

They just don't want to spend their own *hard earned* money in case it doesn't work out. More of the entitlement, *we're owed this* mentality. Donations from me? In their dreams.

Asking for donations from strangers so they can have a child. I have heard it all. What about the hospital delivery bill? When the child needs new clothes, wants a pony, wants a car, needs college money? We supposed to donate for that too?
