Gingernut’s Angels is an organisation providing financial support for those in New Zealand whose fertility journey is less than straightforward.
Gingernut’s Angels was founded in 2024 by Jaimee Lupton, in honour of her and her partner’s daughter Gingernut. Gingernut was born too early in March 2022 after a much tried-for IVF pregnancy. Jaimee knows all too well the complexities and emotions involved when having a child doesn’t come easily, experiencing firsthand the immense joys and severe heartbreaks throughout her own fertility journey.
One in four people will experience infertility and one in eight require some form of medical assistance to achieve a pregnancy. With Gingernut’s Angels, Jaimee hopes to help alleviate some of this burden for people—with financial grants toward their own unique fertility journey.
Grant applications will be open 1st June 2024 to New Zealand couples and singles from all walks of life hoping to grow their family.
Donate to help even more people on their fertility journey fulfil their hope for a family. We will be matching donations made (dollar for dollar) up to NZD $500,000 with a goal of reaching $1 million—in order to provide 100 grants in 2024.
What a wonderful way to honour your daughters legacy ❤️
Love this!
This is something I always knew I wanted to set up when the time was right—and as I get ready to welcome my second baby, that time is now. I’ve been very open with our fertility struggles, because knowing it might help others (even one person) makes it worthwhile. I have spent hours talking to people on and offline who are struggling—not only with fertility itself but with finding the money for IVF treatments.
Rounds and rounds of IVF (multiple only if they’re lucky) costing thousands and thousands of dollars. I’ve been in a very fortunate position where when those bills come in, they can be paid, and I don’t take this for granted. But not all are in that position, and my heart breaks to think that finances would be the barrier to someone getting their wish for a family.
With Gingernut’s Angels I’m making this commitment official: providing financial support to New Zealand families whose fertility journey is less than straightforward, through grants in our daughter’s honour. Trust me when I say hope is not lost.
