Amaris
Founder/Director
Amaris Morley is the Founder and Director of Lifeline Gifts. She grew up on the mission field of Mongolia with her family. After they came back to the States, she went through LPN school with the hope of becoming a medical missionary. Due to multiple chronic illnesses that keep her in her electric mobility chair at home, Amaris discovered another dream: helping to provide gifts and the gospel for both children around the world and women who choose life for their babies. She helps with organizing the various facets of Lifeline Gifts as well as ordering and sorting supplies and taking pictures for updates. Though limited to the use of one hand, Amaris sews baby quilts for layette bundles and uses her embroidery machine to create greeting cards.
