View & Interact with Surprise Mosaic day 1 of NIAW, April 21, 10:00AM PST - 5:00 PM April 27th PST
I wanted to do something for National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) to inspire women & men's creativity that unites our stories. The struggle with fertility can be a confusing and lonely journey. Most associate building their family as a happy time to treasure and bloom from. For many of us this is not the case. How in the face of such despair can we continue to bloom and live fully? The Mosaic Project is a celebration of community uniting to create a collective voice through image and word with the intention of inspiring us through the tough times and the happy times!

My name is Ashlie and I have recently created a Facebook page in time for NIAW. I want to encourage everyone to join my Facebook page to help raise awareness and support for infertility. During NIAW wear a ribbon for Infertility Awareness, take a picture, and post it to my page for everyone to see. As we all wear the ribbon, I am sure it will get everyone asking and talking about it which in turn will get everyone talking about infertility. I hope we can all join together to put an end to the taboo topic of infertility. My Facebook page is called Infertility Awareness and Support Group. - Nationwide - What Do You Know About Fertility?
