Lloyd

My name is Lloyd. After hearing former Birthline executive-director Andrew Davies give his “Life Language” presentation at St John’s Catholic church in Loveland in May 2022, I felt called to start helping Birthline and joined the Birthline Board of Directors and volunteer at the Birthline Maternity Home as the handyman – arranging plumbing, heating and repairs at the home and car-repair services for Guests.

Andrew’s presentaion led to me writing pro-life articles as opinion pieces in the Loveland Reporter Herald, the Colorado Daily, Catholic365, and the Daily Camera (Over 50 published articles, see tinyurl.com/tph4ksre). These articles cover the gamut from revealing to the reading public what an abortion actually entails to describing the Birthline Maternity home. My home church is Good Shepherd in Loveland where I teach Sunday School every other week.

Jules

Hi, I’m Juliene, but everyone calls me Jules! I am the Executive Director for Birthline of Loveland.

I’ve served as the Communication and Development Director for Life Choices Pregnancy & Family Resource Center in Tennessee, where I’ve helped grow programs that support moms, dads, and babies with practical help and Christ-centered care. I’m a former teen mom myself, so this work is deeply personal to me—and I count it a blessing to walk alongside women facing tough situations with truth and love.

I’m also an Army brat, so I’ve lived all over the U.S. and overseas, which definitely helped shape my love for people and community. I’ve been married 36 years to my amazing husband Chuck, and we have three beautiful children and five precious grandchildren— plus two more on the way! I feel incredibly blessed to be part of this ministry and I’m excited to join you in the work God is doing through Birthline!

Sarah

Hello friends! My name is Sarah and I am the Center Director at Birthline.

I was born and raised in Loveland. This area is my home and my place to serve. My passion for the unborn began many years ago, when I was told by a teacher that abortion was a topic I couldn’t use for an assignment. I had a not so pleasant conversation with her and it was very eye opening to me, a young girl at the time. The reality that people will deliberately silence the truth hit me hard at that moment. It lit a fire in my heart.

I was led to Birthline with a desire to walk beside women that are facing unplanned pregnancies and uncertain futures. I want women to feel empowered to move forward.

Gia

My name is Gia. I am the Maternity Home House Director for Birthline!

A couple of years back, I actually was a guest at the home! I found God while in this home! I have a beautiful son named Ellio, who is one year old. I am married to my husband, Alex.

My favorite things to do are listen to music, draw or paint, cook, and make new friends! I love the outdoors, and my favorite season is fall!

Recently, my journey with God has led me back to the place where I accepted him fully into my heart, and now I can share that experience with other women who are finding themselves, too! I am kind, empathetic, resourceful, and have a lot of perseverance!

Taylor

Hello, my name is Taylor! I am an Advocate and the Communications Coordinator for Birthline of Loveland.

As a child, I loved to write short stories, draw, and sing. When I finished high school, I attended the University of Colorado Boulder and graduated in 2020 with a bachelor’s in media production and a minor in film studies.

During the pandemic, I worked various jobs to stay afloat and married my Husband Dillon in 2021. That following November of 2021 I got COVIDpneumonia in both my lungs and was put in a coma for 21 days. I was in the hospital for 2 months and had many complications from COVID that nearly took away my life. I had to relearn how to talk, walk, and move my body again. I had to learn how to take care of my lungs with the use of supplemental oxygen and how to operate my new oxygen equipment. I lost my apartment, my job, and my husband’s and I’s savings while I was sick and had to move in with my grandparents and then my parents after I could climb stairs again. Without the comfort and support of my family I wouldn’t have made it through that difficult time. Since that time in the hospital, I have dedicated my time to pursue work to help others and to find my purpose in the life that I have been given.

When I interviewed with Birthline I was blown away by the work that they do for pregnant women and couples, and I was hopeful that I might be able to grow in an organization like this that was dedicated to helping others in so many ways. I am so grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given to work with Birthline and to be able to grow and work in such a wonderful team.

Margie

Eight years ago, my daughter came to me and asked a question that took me completely by surprise: “What would you think if I have a baby? I have no husband or boyfriend, but I would like to have a baby.”
I paused, hmmm… I never imagined becoming a grandmother this way. Yet deep down, I knew this was her heart’s desire. So, I told her to do what she believed was best. She made the brave decision to be inseminated and began the journey of single motherhood.

It has not been an easy road. There have been challenges, tears, and moments of uncertainty. But my husband and I have stood by her every step of the way, surrounding her with love, encouragement, and support.

Today, that precious little baby is six years old. Gracie has become the joy and pride of our lives. Her life has transformed ours in ways I never could have imagined. Her birth awakened something in me—it stirred a passion to encourage and uplift other young mothers walking difficult paths of their own.

That’s what led me to Birthline. I wanted to use what I’ve learned, both through my own sometimes chaotic and imperfect parenting journey, and through Gracie, to walk alongside other moms.

Now, I get to share that hope, that experience, and that love with others. My  heart’s desire is for every parent to feel empowered—to know they are not alone—and to become the very best parents they can be.

Bailey

My name is Bailey, I have been a volunteer with Birthline of Loveland for about 2 years.

When my husband and I moved to Loveland, I began to feel a deep desire to serve those in need in my community as commanded by my faith in Christ Jesus. Not only this, but I wanted to give my time to an organization that shares my values and is involved in an issue I care deeply about. I have always been passionate about protecting human life, especially the lives of the unborn. It breaks my heart that abortion has become a common response to unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. Even more, it breaks my heart how easily our culture and government has accepted
this practice. As I tried to become more informed about this issue, I would often hear arguments finding fault with anyone holding a pro-life position who didn’t also do something to address the material needs of women and children who find themselves in difficult situations. With that, I had made my decision. I wanted to do what I could to support those in need, especially those who may be at risk of choosing abortion.

I quickly found Birthline of Loveland and began volunteering. During my time with Birthline, I have worked in the clothing room, at the front desk, and am about to start working as an advocate. It has been such a blessing to spend my time with the staff, other volunteers, and clients at Birthline. I am able to first-hand witness the impact of the work we are doing and how it has the capacity to change and sometimes even save lives. It has been an absolute joy to be a part of this ministry. Thank you to everyone at Birthline who has allowed me to participate in the wonderful work you do!

Joe

My name is Joe, and my wife Frédérique and I have been supporting Birthline for many years. We were board members for several years, until our wonderful daughter was born. More recently, I started putting together the monthly newsletters (others write nearly all of the content for the newsletters – I just put it all together.) Organizations like Birthline are very important to us because we live in a state where someone can end the life of their pre-born baby at any point in a pregnancy, for any reason. Therefore, it’s especially vital that we provide resources, information, and most importantly – love, so that women feel empowered to choose life for their precious babies. The subject of abortion is also particularly important to me because I am the result of an unplanned pregnancy of an unwed teenage mother who had just started college. It was definitely an inconvenient time for my parents to have a baby, and the Roe v. Wade ruling just three years earlier meant many other parents in a similar situation were choosing abortion. Fortunately, my parents embraced life for me, got married, and recently celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary. It hasn’t always been easy for them starting a family so young, but they made it work with love and commitment.

I asked my parents to weigh in on what I have written, since this is their story just as
much as it is mine. This is what my Mom has to add: “When you have your baby, you
never regret it! But having an abortion can cause people regret.” Another reason choosing life is so important to me is because I have several other relatives who were conceived in similar circumstances, and whose parents chose life, even when it wasn’t easy. Some chose to raise their babies on their own, while others chose adoption plans, but all are grateful for the life-affirming choices that they made. And I am too, because I’ve gotten the opportunity to know and love these family members.

Patricia

My name is Patricia and joined Birthline as a volunteer in January of 2022 to serve as a
Client Advocate. My story began years ago when I became pregnant at the age of 16 which turned my world upside down. I made the decision to embrace motherhood. My parents and church family were very supportive.

A few years after my son was born, I got involved with a group of locals who wanted to fill a need in our community to empower and support women and families experiencing unplanned pregnancies. That grass roots effort was successful in establishing a pregnancy care center in my hometown which still exists today. It is an honor to be a part of Birthline’s vision and mission! I am blessed to walk alongside expecting mom’s and/or mothers of little ones by enlarging their support system through providing a safe place of encouragement, prayer, material goods, educational resources and other essentials.

Gwen

Hi. My name is Gwen. I had known about Birthline for many years, and joined their board of directors in 2015. I was the Chair of the Board for 3 years. I was also one of the founders of the Maternity Home.

Birthline has always served our community with pro-life support and resources! But, we knew there was great need to help pregnant women and their babies, facing homelessness, to have a beautiful place to live and to engage in life transformations. Our board and the steering committee prayed about this dream, and through God and sweat equity, the Maternity home became a reality at the end of 2023! Personally, I serve on the team to help the Guests set and achieve their goals according to our defined outcomes.
