Samantha’s Gift of Hope: IVF Grant Recipients
Samantha’s Gift of Hope has brought light and hope back to the lives of many families. This program helps couples enrolled in the RGI IVF 100% Success Guaranteed Plan bring a precious life into the world with a financial grant. Each quarter, one couple in the program will be selected from qualified applicants to receive a grant from Samantha’s Gift of Hope to cover the costs of the success program.
The IVF 100% Success Guaranteed Plan at Reproductive Gynecology & Infertility, like its name suggests, guarantees you’ll take home a baby. The basis for this guarantee is three fresh cycles of IVF and an unlimited number of frozen embryo transfers. But the high-tech nature of—and hard costs involved in—these cycles mean the program is hard for some couples to afford. For couples enrolled in the program, Samantha’s Gift of Hope represents an opportunity to receive financial assistance through the IVF process.

Samantha's Gift of Hope: Story
Samantha’s Gift of Hope is a charitable fund founded by Lisa and Matt Kaulig, a couple who had their own struggles with infertility.
When the Kauligs decided to start a family after being married for a few years, they were met with disappointment. They decided to look into fertility care, and they chose to go with Reproductive Gynecology as their trusted fertility team. With three cycles of IVF, Lisa and Matt were exposed to the expense and physical and emotional challenges involved—and, later, to the sheer joy of having a beautiful baby girl. They named her Samantha, and they later named their gift of hope to others after her.
“She is truly a gift and a blessing,” Lisa says of her daughter. “We would not have her without the amazing staff at RGI, and we will never be able to thank them enough. She is funny, and compassionate and brings joy to our lives each and every day. Our hope is that a fund in her honor will allow other families to experience having their own child/children and to give them hope that it is possible.”

Hear From Our Samantha's Gift of Hope Recipients
RGI made our dreams come true! And Samantha’s gift of hope….there really aren’t words to express how they changed our lives. We won their grant in 2019 and it has continued to bless us several years later. Every time we make a financial decision I think of SGH and how I don’t know if it’d be possible if it wasn’t for them.
RGI and Samantha’s Gift of Hope has forever changed our lives in the best way possible because they have given us the greatest gift we could ever get—our sweet daughter. We have this joy of being parents we had previously only dreamed about, and honestly weren’t sure we would ever have. Now, everyday is filled with baby giggles and snuggles, cheering her on to her next milestone (which is currently crawling), and trying to be the best parents we can be. We will never be able to repay RGI and Samantha’s Gift of Hope, but we will forever be grateful to them and are daily reminded of it.
RGI made it possible for us to experience the joys of becoming parents. There is no greater feeling or love in this world that we’ve experienced than bringing Liam into this world. We truly understand the miracle and blessings babies are. SGOH we will forever feel grateful for. We cannot thank Lisa, Matt and Sam enough for their generosity and helping couples pay towards their IVF journeys. Honestly, SGOH really does provide HOPE. Winning the grant also helped us to feel like this is really happening, it’s meant to be.
Because of Samantha’s Gift of Hope, our dream of having a child came true. We could focus more on each step of the process and keep a positive attitude through it all instead of constantly worrying about what things cost and how we would make it work. Now, our sweet Tenley girl is 1 week old and I continue to be thankful each day for the opportunity Samantha’s Gift of Hope gave us. We are now living out our favorite roles as mom and dad and are filled with so much love for our little girl!
