I’m Ashley Liveoak, I am the Executive Director of Care Net of Chilton County and Selah’s Oasis Maternity Home. I am married to my college sweetheart Kacey and have a daughter Oakleigh. I am a graduate of Pelham High School (2005) and the University of Montevallo (2011).

As a family we love visiting the springs in Florida—camping, kayaking, and exploring.

Throughout my life God has been ever present, faithful and good. Walking through trials and hardships has drawn me closer to the Lord and I have really come to know him and believe that his promises in his word are for me and for you! Before I came to Care Net, I had been laid off from my job and had no idea what I was going to do. The Lord placed me at Care Net almost immediately. I stand on God’s word that every life matters—no matter how that life was conceived it is precious and valuable in God’s eyes.

I am also the Executive Director of Choose Life Alabama (Choose Life Car Tags). Through this ministry Choose Life supports and provides education for pregnancy centers, adoption agencies and maternity homes in Alabama.

I consider myself honored to be a part of such an impactful ministry and I am humbled to get to serve families in Chilton County and Central Alabama.

My Favorite verse: With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20

I'm Kristen Binion Nichols, and I'm honored to serve as the House Director at Selah's Oasis. My life's purpose is to serve the Lord in everything I do, and to be the Christian wife and mother that God has called me to be. My past experiences have equipped me to coach and guide young women and their children during their stay at Selah's. I believe my personal testimony can show them that God can bring good out of even the most difficult situations.

Since joining Care Net in February 2024, I've dedicated my life to helping women in challenging circumstances, with the ultimate goal of leading them to Jesus Christ. I remind them that "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6) and that through Christ, all things are possible (Philippians 4:13). We are nothing without Jesus, our vine (John 15:5), and if we ask anything in His name, He will do it (John 14:14).

My greatest hope is to show these women that Jesus is the answer to all their problems. If they surrender their hearts and accept Him as their Savior, He will help them. He will walk with them through their struggles, love them, and fill the emptiness in their hearts. I pray that when they leave our home, seeds are planted, and they remember that He is always there.

My favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

I’m Leah Graham and am currently employed as the Case Manager at Selah’s Oasis maternity home in Chilton County.

I graduated June 3, 1989, with a Bachelor’s of Art degree in Sociology. Some of my varied experiences have included being employed as an Activity Director in a home for mentally handicapped adults, employment as an Activity Director in a nursing home, and more recently as a Social Service Caseworker for Chilton County Department of Human Resources.

It has been a dream of mine for many years to work in a maternity home and I’m beyond excited to have this opportunity!

Favorite Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you-this is the Lord’s declaration – plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

My name is Rebecca Lowery, and I am the activities coordinator for Selah’s Oasis.

In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my Husband and five cats. I like to spend my weekends camping, cooking, thrifting, and crafting.

Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 8:28 “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to his purpose.”

Greetings! My name is Kaitlyn Wheeler, and I'm privileged to serve as the House Assistant at Selah's Oasis Maternity Home. I'm a recent graduate of Calera High School, class of 2023.

On a personal note, I'm overjoyed to share that I'm engaged to my wonderful fiancé, Blayton Taylor. He has truly been a blessing in my life, opening my heart and mind to a world of love and happiness that I hadn't fully experienced before. Blayton has been an incredible source of support and guidance, teaching me invaluable lessons about life and love. We both share a deep faith and are active members of Mt. Carmel #1 Baptist Church, where we serve our community by ministering to children and helping to organize various church events.

My primary goal here at Selah's Oasis is to encourage and support the women in our care to strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ. I believe that faith can be an incredible source of strength and comfort, especially during challenging times. I'm truly honored to be a part of this ministry and to witness the transformative power of God's love in the lives of these women.

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities that bring me joy and relaxation. I'm an avid gamer and love exploring virtual worlds. I also enjoy getting outdoors and spending time riding four-wheelers, fishing, and swimming. And yes, I even find cleaning to be a satisfying way to unwind!

My Favorite Bible verse, Psalms 72:26 “ My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

I’m Kennise Dawson. I’m the House-mom sub for Selah’s Oasis. I am a graduate of Jemison High School (2018). I am a single mother of a wild little boy named Braxton who is 2 years old. 

I came to Selah’s as a resident in a tough situation. The Lord brought me there so graciously. Through his promises, and faithfulness he placed me in an environment where I would go on to meet the people I needed desperately in my life. Through Selah’s I was able to get back on my feet, and get on my own. As always the Lord always puts his children where they need to be. Now I am back home with the family that adopted me as their own, and now I get to serve women in similar situations as my own.

Mr favorite bible verse is the sister verse to Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand"
