Single Moms Mother's Day Celebration 2023

Heather’s own life was in jeopardy when her mother was instructed by her doctors and family to abort because her body couldn’t survive a pregnancy. God had “dibs” on Heather’s life and by His grace and against all odds her mother chose life. In her late teen years Heather found herself going from relationship to relationship to find love and comfort. She was married, divorced, and facing her own unplanned pregnancy by the time she was 23. Heather chose life for her child and is now blessed with a beautiful 18-year-old daughter. After two marriages ending in divorce and then a single Mom of a 1-year-old, Heather made the choice to finally surrender all her Life to Jesus and from then on everything started to change.

When Heather started working for a local nonprofit in her 20's her passion for helping women and families grew. Her desire to promise to be there for them and then “prove it” became like a fire in her heart. It was then that the vision for Reliance Ministries (a 4-part holistic model to help women and men facing unplanned pregnancies, possible STD’s, and unexpected life circumstances) was born. 

Heather communicates with fire and passion. She speaks boldly and unashamedly about her past and about God’s mercy and grace that has brought her to where she is now, she also communicates a fierce PRO-LOVE message, encouraging people to love first above all else. “Truth and Grace” is her motto because we need to have both…in equal parts, to make a difference.
