Kellie Gerardi x Babylist IVF Grants

For more than eight years, my family lived in the space between hope and heartbreak.

After the birth of my daughter, we faced secondary infertility, devastating pregnancy losses, and multiple rounds of IVF. It was a journey marked by waiting, uncertainty, and grief, but also by extraordinary support and resilience. When I chose to share our experience in real time on social media, I never expected millions of people to show up with encouragement, compassion, support, and unwavering belief when I struggled to find it myself.

The IVF community is built on courage, vulnerability, science, and hope. As a research astronaut, I’ve trained to navigate the unknown. Infertility required that same strength. Access to IVF ultimately changed the course of my family’s life, and no family should have to abandon their dream of growing their family simply because the financial burden of treatment is too heavy.

Partnering with Baby Quest to personally sponsor this grant is my way of paying forward the love, strength, and support that carried me through my darkest moments. This grant exists to remind another family that they are not alone, and that their hope is worth fighting for.
