@oristarA,
Second person plural, therefore, "are" . . .

@oristarA,
I disagree. The subject is "each"--singular.
The sentence should read:
There are reasons each of us is born.
It would be better if you said:
There are reasons why each of us is born.

Right. This can be easily understood.

@oristarA,
There are reasons why we are born, this is not one of them.
