It\u2019s bigger than compensation.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Donation starts with empathy: the feeling that something you can do\r\n may change another person\u2019s whole future.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Compensation is provided for your time, travel, commitment and\r\n inconvenience\u2014but the heart of the journey is helping someone who\r\n cannot conceive with their own eggs.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n
