family say their IVF dreams could be dashed because they can't afford transport to the fertility clinic. Mairi and Jamie Purdie have been selected for IVF on the NHS after a two year wait.
However, the Bathgate couple say the £30-a-day travel costs to get through to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are crippling them, after they both lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
The couple has set up a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising £200 to cover travel costs to their final appointments, and keep their dreams alive.
Mairi, 25, told the Daily Record : "We can't give this chance at IVF up, it might be the only one we get. Some weeks we are at the hospital three times a week and we just can't afford it after we both lost our jobs because of Covid.
