About Us

Mission

Welcome from Julie

We all have a story. Stories with twists and turns and the power to reshape our lives. How our stories unfold often depend on the choices we make and the people who walk with us along the way.

At Waterleaf, we meet a woman amid an unexpected pregnancy—a chapter that can be filled with fear, confusion, and uncertainty. The weight of some of her circumstances is heavy. So many voices are telling her what to do—and yet, she feels completely alone.

When she walks through the doors of Waterleaf, somethingbegins to change. She feels safe enough to share her story. We listen with compassion. We don’t judge. We simply meet her where sheis with love, support, and truthful, accurate information from qualified medical professionals. Her ultrasound tells the story of a new life and gives her an opportunity to turn the page and see the possibility of a hopeful future.

Stories that once seemed broken and full of chaos are being rewritten with grace and purpose when she enters our doors. Because of YOU, she discovers hope, finds her strength and chooses life. Your giftbecomes her story’s turning point.

YOU, our valued supporter, are serving with us as the hands and feet of Jesus in a visible and tangible way, saving women, saving men, saving unborn babies. Lives are being changed—for eternity.

Your choice to support Waterleaf is now part of YOUR story, OUR story, and HER story. Let’s keep the story going—together!

In faith,

Executive Director
