Announcing the Winner of IHR's NIAW IVF Lottery
We are thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s IVF lottery, held in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week to give back to the community we serve.
National Infertility Awareness Week
National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) is a time for communities to come together, raise awareness, and provide support to those struggling with infertility. This year, NIAW was observed from April 21st to April 27th, 2024. At IHR, we are committed to supporting individuals and couples on their fertility journey, and our IVF lottery is one of the ways we contribute to this cause.
About IHR’s IVF Lottery
Our IVF lottery is an opportunity for individuals and couples to receive a free IVF cycle, providing a chance to make their dreams of parenthood a reality. The lottery is open to individuals and couples facing infertility, with the hope that we can help ease the financial burden that fertility treatments can cause.
This year, we are delighted to announce that the lucky recipients of the free IVF cycle are Sophia Sanfratello and Guadalupe Sanchez. Both winners have shown incredible strength and resilience in their journey towards parenthood, and we are honored to support them in this next step.
"We’ve been through so many hard times, so many ‘nos’, and getting our hopes up for years, so we were really honored to be able to win this gift,” Sophia shared.
Sophia and Guadalupe are now 16 weeks pregnant with a baby girl.
