Lindsey Baker

My name is Lindsey Baker, I live in Mobile AL and have been married to the love of my life for 9 years! We have 3 boys together, and I am blessed that after years of being in ministry, I am able to stay home and be wife and mother to them. I am highly involved in the local church as well as all of the activities and sports that come with having boys. I have known Natalie for years, and getting to see her passion for supporting young girls come to life through Flourish has been beautiful and inspiring to say the least. There is a huge need in our communities to help young girls find their place and purpose in this world and I’m thrilled for the opportunity to partner with Flourish and play a part in making that happen. Thank you for any and all of your support in making this dream a reality and giving the girls here a real chance at a successful and thriving future!
