Hello there! Let me introduce myself – I’m Jenny McLean. I am a native of Bakersfield and have worked in Marketing/Sales for over 30 years. My husband and I have been married for 26 years. Our infertility journey spanned five years, including four miscarriages and many procedures that didn’t work out. When we opened our hearts to adoption, doors opened, and we became parents in 10 days… Our miracle is now twenty.

My husband and I are the oldest members of AMA. We do, however, vividly remember our journey. By sharing our experience, others discover they are not alone. Our trust and relationship with God, first and foremost, leads us to His plan.

My goal is to encourage, support, and embrace those struggling through grief and difficulty of conceiving. I will listen, take heart, and remind couples not to lose hope and trust in God’s plan. He sheds light when there seems to be none. My hope, through Amelia Molloy’s Angels, is to pay it forward from personal blessings and walk through others infertility journeys

together.

Hi, I am Cathy Gonzales, Amelia Molloy’s grandmother. I am currently employed with the Kern High School District as a System Application Specialist. My husband Monty and I have been married for 35 years. We have four beautiful daughters, six grandchildren, one in heaven, and one on the way in April.
The passion I have for this foundation is deeply rooted. Watching our second oldest daughter struggle with infertility, finally getting pregnant by going through IVF, losing her sweet Amelia and then being told she could no longer have children was heartbreaking. As I watched her take all her heartache and use it to help other woman, it made me want to run beside her on this journey. I am so excited to help bless other families by raising awareness and support to help relieve the financial burden of IVF, surrogacy, and adoption.

Hello, I’m Jackie Lomely. I’ve been happily married to my husband, Zach Lomely, for two years, and we share our lives with our cherished fur baby, Penny. I’m excited to join the board of Amelia Molloy’s Angels, having been deeply moved by the organization’s events and its commitment to supporting individuals struggling with infertility, both emotionally and financially. 

With a background in sales and a strong network, I’ve been able to raise awareness for this incredible non-profit in our community. My dedication to helping those facing infertility aligns perfectly with Amelia Molloy’s Angels' mission.

Outside of my work with the organization, I love spending time in my community, which only deepens my commitment to this important cause. I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of Amelia Molloy’s Angels.

I was born and raised in Bakersfield, CA, but I have had the privilege to call many places home during my college years. I met my wife almost 15 years ago, and we have been married for over a decade now. Though our lives have been amazing, we have had one missing piece, never being able to conceive a child of our own. We are still in the middle of this journey and were blessed to have won one of the Amelia Molloy’s Angels grants in 2023 giving us the help that we needed to really fully pursue alternate routes of conception.

As my wife and I navigated infertility, we did it isolated and alone until we found AMA. It was then that we realized, this is a bigger issue than we ever could have imagined. This made me determined to let others know that they do not need to do this alone. There is a community that exists and understands the pain, fear, and doubt but is there with you through it all. I am honored to be on this board and use my abilities to reach as many people as we can. 

Hello, I am Jannessie. I’ve been happily married to my husband, Joe, for many years. I enjoy spending time cooking, gardening, and with my family and friends. I’m actively involved in my community. My passion for serving others led me to spend over 15 years working with an organization that supports foster children in Kern County. 

My husband and I have been struggling with fertility. We are beneficiaries of the resources Amelia Molloy’s Angels provide. I am eager to contribute to a nonprofit that enhances the quality of life and supports family building in our community.
