The condition is pretty rare, as it only affects 1 in 4,500 newborn girls and what specifically causes it is not yet known. Currently, researchers are trying to figure it out if genetic differences might play a role.

“Kaylee will never be able to carry her own children. The dreams we had of raising families together are going to look a little different than we had initially planned. This diagnosis raises a lot of fears, concerns, and insecurities in Kaylee about her identity and her future,” her GoFundMe page states. “The options of surrogacy and adoption give her some hope but she will never be able to carry her own children. After receiving the news, she decided to focus on school and address the problem later on when she was ready.”

As you can imagine, the diagnosis has dramatically changed the way Moats views her body and future. She was even nervous to tell her boyfriend about it, afraid of what might be his reaction. He’s been completely supportive, like the rest of her family, and has pledged to stick by her side.

Now, the Arizona resident has decided to raise money for what would be a life-changing surgery, since it would allow her “to have an intimate relationship like any other woman would experience.”

The surgery comes with a lofty $15,000 price tag, though. It does, however, have 96 percent success rate, according to her page. If you’re interested in helping out, check out her GoFundMe page here.
