Applying for free IVF.....HELP!

in TTC after 35
Hi everyone...I found out a few weeks ago that my RE is giving away a free IVF locally.  I've got my application done and now I have to write a letter.  It specifically states to include "a personal letter to the committee explaining the compelling nature of the applicant's circumstance."  Can anyone give me any tips or suggestions as what to put in my letter?  We've been TTC for 2 years so I think we have a chance, but I wanna make sure to pull on their heart strings!

    I figure after two years of trying, that you've got a REALLY compelling nature of a request! If you guys are not as financially secure as you'd like to be for IVF, I'd include that. I think that being honest about the ups and downs, emotional drain, and stress of IF will help make you the lucky recipient! I really hope you get it! Good luck!

    Speak from your heart. Tell them of your desires for a child and explain your financial situation. Share the things you have struggled with emotionally over the last two years. Good luck, I hope you get it!
