Story About Our Organization

About Wilder Family Empowerment Center

Every mother deserves the opportunity to choose life with confidence, dignity, and support.
Wilder Family Empowerment Center exists to provide that support — offering life-affirming resources, emotional guidance, and community care for mothers and families seeking alternatives to abortion.

We stand beside every woman, ensuring she never feels alone in making one of the most important decisions of her life.

Our Mission

To empower mothers and families with compassionate support, practical resources, and life-affirming alternatives that make confident, hope-filled choices possible.

Our Vision

A world where every mother has access to the resources, love, and understanding she needs to choose life — and every child has the opportunity to grow in a nurturing, supported family environment.

How It All Began

Wilder Family Empowerment Center was founded by Dr. David Wilder, whose personal story fuels our mission.

“In 1988, I chose abortion believing it was an easy way out.
It wasn’t.
I traded a life for my potential, dreams, and goals. At the time, I thought it was the right choice… but it wasn’t.”

That moment became a turning point — not just in his life, but in the lives of thousands of women and families he has dedicated himself to serving.

Dr. Wilder witnessed firsthand that society offers many avenues to abortion, but far fewer pathways that support a mother who wants to choose life.

He founded Wilder Family Empowerment Center to change that.
