I am proud to serve on the board of New Life Maternity Home.  My name is Michelle Waldron I have been involved with the Pro Life cause since 2003. I started out as a volunteer at Alight Center, Inc and eventually became Executive Director, Client Services Director and a Nurse for the center.  I have been happily married for 27 years, I have four children and one granddaughter.  The Lord spoke to me and showed me that a Maternity home was much needed.   With the prompting of the Holy Spirit, on the Feat of St. Rita May 22, 2019 I called many faithful prolife friends together to make plans for a future maternity home.  On that day the New Life Maternity Home Board had its beginnings.  I am very grateful to serve our Lord in this way and be surrounded by spirit filled dedicated people.

Michele’s inspiration to become more involved in pro-life work comes from walking along side a few beloved women in her life who have experienced tremendous suffering as a result of their decision to have an abortion.  Each of these women felt that they didn’t have the support they needed to bring their crisis pregnancy to term.  They felt alone, scared, and could not see a path for themselves as a mother.  They felt like they didn’t have a choice.  This propels Michele to help women know they are not only loved, but they have a community of support to help them know they are also not alone.  Michele’s most important pro-life work has been in her own home raising her 3 daughters.  Most especially, Michele is passionate about striving to communicate to all people in all situations that their life has intrinsic value and they are a gift.
