Super happy about being able to help another family out! I know a lot of people through my parents who struggled with infertility and needing help so the infertility topic wasn’t new to me. The entire process including egg retrieval went very well. I love that I was able to give someone the chance to have a family. Getting money for it was just an extra plus.

What is the Gifted Futures EggShare Program?
The Gifted Futures EggShare Program is a unique opportunity for compassionate women to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others while safeguarding their own fertility. It is a program where donors can donate half of their retrieved eggs to help Intended Parents who are struggling with infertility. In return, donors are rewarded by being able to freeze and store the remaining half of their eggs for up to 8 years. This program allows donors to assist others in their journey to parenthood while preserving their own reproductive options for the future. It's a compassionate and empowering way to give and receive.
How does the Gifted Futures EggShare Program work?
The Gifted Futures EggShare Program allows donors to freeze and store half of their retrieved eggs for up to 8 years with our partner clinic RSMC as a reward for donating the other half. This ensures their own fertility while helping intended parents fulfill their dreams of having a family.
