Naja Tucker-Dreher

Naja Tucker-Dreher is a native of Columbia, SC. She is a loving wife to Brian Dreher of four years and a proud mother to Zion Tucker and Brianna Dreher. She has dedicated 18 years to the healthcare field, with experience ranging from direct patient care and patient services to patient services supervision, office management, and her current role in health information and auditing records.

Naja’s passion for serving women and children stems from her own life experiences. She was raised in a home affected by domestic violence. Although her parents were married, her father struggled with substance abuse, and with that came physical abuse. She is grateful that her mother survived those difficult years, even though she later passed away from a blood clot in her heart.

When Naja was in the fifth grade, her mother made the courageous decision to leave her father and return home with Naja and her sister. Before then, their lives were filled with instability and uncertainty. Looking back, Naja often thinks about how different their lives could have been if her mother had not had a safe place to go. She could have easily faced homelessness while trying to protect her children.

Because of this, Naja’s heart is deeply connected to women who are experiencing domestic violence and hardship. She has a special compassion for mothers and their children because she understands firsthand the emotional wounds and lasting effects these experiences can leave behind. Children carry those memories and struggles long after the situation ends.

This is why helping women in need is more than a mission for Naja, it is her purpose. She believes in women helping women and in being the hands and feet of Jesus through love, compassion, support, and restoration. Her desire is to provide hope, stability, and encouragement to women and children as they rebuild their lives and move toward healing and restoration.
