Our Mission

Fruitful provides community, education and emotional support to those striving to build their families. Our mission is to help you through your grief, nurture you as you heal and empower you as you move forward.

 
 

Our Impact

Our arms are open to anyone facing fertility challenges, including “unexplained” and “secondary” infertility, IUI and IVF, miscarriages, pregnancy loss, adoption and more. We started this group because we each have struggled with infertility issues in some way. We know how painful of a journey it can be and believe nobody should have to walk it alone. Together, we are stronger.

 

Our Programs

Fruitful provides a safe place to share your pain, joy, concerns and struggles. We learn from others who are experiencing or have experienced similar journeys. To fulfill our mission, Fruitful takes a holistic approach to fertility by offering social, emotional and educational support to individuals and couples.

 

new! NAvigator program

Fruitful’s Navigator Program pairs a member with someone who has successfully completed their fertility journey. Navigators provide one-on-one support to individuals or couples, helping to alleviate the emotional, mental and physical stresses associated with infertility.  Click here to join.
 

packing parties

We host packing parties where volunteers come together to pack gift boxes for those facing the challenges of infertility. The boxes are delivered to local reproductive endocrinologist offices to be distributed to women in the waiting room. We are so appreciative of those who support and donate to this special project. Email us for more information.

WHATSAPP SUPPORT CHATS

We established dedicated WhatsApp groups to offer continuous support and camaraderie through the highs and lows of fertility challenges. Members share experiences and tips, seek advice, and provide a comforting virtual shoulder (or cell phone) to lean on.

 

monthly support groups

We meet monthly to provide peer-to-peer support to women struggling with infertility. Our intimate get togethers may help you feel less isolated, empower you with knowledge, and validate your emotional response. View our upcoming events.
 

care packages

Fruitful offers care packages to remind our members that they are not alone. From restaurant gift cards and fuzzy socks to chicken soup and aromatherapy candles, our thoughtful care packages are customized for miscarriages, failed treatment cycles, egg retrievals, and more. Donate a care package here.

awareness events

We are committed to raising awareness, compassion and support of infertility throughout the Arizona community. In partnership with like-minded organizations, we hosted an Infertili-TEA event, Limmud seminar, Rabbinic workshop, documentary screening and more.

Get Involved

As long as there are men and women suffering from infertility, Fruitful will provide needed support, education, and advocacy programs in our community. The journey is filled with financial burdens, emotional rollercoasters and a lack of public awareness and acceptance. With your help, we can change that in Arizona and help ease the pain.

 

SPONSOR A THERAPIST CONSULT

At times, our members need more than a shoulder to cry on; they need a professional consult. For $100, you can gift a session with Dvora Entin, LCSW, who specializes in perinatal loss, postpartum health, infertility and Jewish response.

GIFT A CARE PACKAGE

Whether you know someone in need of a pick-me-up or wish to send a gift anonymously, our care packages are the perfect way remind women, men and couples that you are thinking about them during this challenging time.

Make a Donation

Your monetary donation allows Fruitful to continue providing important resources and programming year-round. Fruitful is a 501(C)3 charity and all contributions to it are tax deductible. We accept donations by mail or online with a credit card.

FROM our FOUNDER

“Going through infertility feels like a lonely, isolating experience. Leaning on friends for emotional support is how I got through it. You are not alone.”
