Samantha dived into some important medical necessities. “Consider talking with a functional doctor to help alleviate underlying issues in conjunction with your doctor protocol or before starting IUI or IVF.” Then Kyle Busch’s partner broached an often-ignored topic – mental health. Samantha emphasized that saying no to your friends may help once in a while. “Set boundaries with your mental health at the forefront, not worrying about what others will think. If you need to skip that baby shower, a true friend will understand. If holiday parities are triggering or overwhelming, opt out. Prioritize yourself.”
These valuable slivers of advice are only the tip of the iceberg of Kyle and Samantha Busch’s mission to fight infertility.

Extending a helping hand
The Busch couple did not end their effort after bringing bundles of joy to their home. Kyle and Samantha Busch tried for their first child for 16-18 months on their own, without success. So they underwent their first round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 2015 and eventually brought home Brexton. However, they also realized how expensive IVF treatments are.
One round of IVF nationwide is almost $23,000. Since it is not a guarantee and may take multiple rounds, many couples end up shelling out nearly $57,000 for a healthy baby. Considering the immense struggles that people face, Kyle Busch and Samantha started the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund in 2015.

It offers resources and financial support to couples in their home state of North Carolina to offset the costs of fertility treatments. In an interview with her alma mater, Purdue University, in 2021, Samantha explained why she decided to help other people. “A lot of the people that we’re granting funds to, they’re hard-working individuals. They’re firefighters, teachers, police officers, former military. They chose to serve their community, and then when they want to turn around and build their own family, there’s no financial support, so that’s where we step in.”
Samantha Busch is still focused on her mission, and doing all she can to help struggling couples. Wishing the amazing Busch couple a long and happy married life!
