Helping Out

sThis post is a shout out for the Lost Stork Foundation, an up-and-coming non-profit organization that will be providing grants for infertility treatments, adoption and surrogacy. This organization was started by Meghan Swann, a fellow infertile and new mom. I know many of my readers have infertility issues and those issues can be expensive. Really REALLY expensive, especially if you don't have insurance coverage for those treatments. Adoption, whether it be domestic, international or embryo adoption, can be even more expensive. That's why it's so important to show support for organizations that are trying to help people like us out.

Unfortunately the LSF has been unable to start accepting grant applications because they haven't gotten enough funds to provide grants yet. Last fall they started selling cookbooks as a fundraiser but they still have many more to sell before they can start handing out grants. As I said before, infertility and adoption can be expensive but if you have the money, please purchase a cookbook from the LSF. I bought one last fall. They have a huge selection of recipes (263 I believe) that were contributed from families all over the world. Cookbooks are only $10 plus shipping. Buy a few and give them away as gifts or host a giveaway on your blog for a free cookbook.
Even if you don't have the money to purchase a cookbook right now, get the word out! Follow her blog or Facebook page, grab her button and put it on your blog, or write a post to let your followers know that there is a resource out there that is willing to help our community. And trust me, those resources are hard to come by. But without support from us and others this organization can't help us and I would hate to see that happen. So shout it out to the world, buy a cookbook, or make a donation. Every little bit helps, it really does.
