November 2024- It was wonderful and very special to have the support of so many at our 12th annual gala, celebrating 23 years of saving the lives of the most innocent and helpless among us, newborns. I am sending you this personal note to express how truly grateful we are for our “Lifesaving Partnership” and for your continued support.
The highlight of the evening was seeing the re-union of Gloria Hope, now 21-years old, with the firefighters that received her and the message from Safe Haven baby “Milagros” now 19-years old. It touched every heart. I know it did mine.
We believed from the beginning 23 years ago that if we saved only one life from the ultimate in infant abuse — abandonment — all our efforts would be worthwhile and that was 412 precious lives ago (402 in Florida, nine in other states & one little one in the country of Honduras). And… we have assisted over 6,000 girls/woman in their time of need/crisis, helped six moms reclaimed their parental rights; 74 moms chose direct adoption with an agency of their choice.
In a perfect world, there would be no need for an organization such as A Safe Haven For Newborns. But, our world is far from perfect, and all we can do is try to make our piece of it a better place. We cannot save every infant and guide every troubled mother, but we can make a difference for as many as possible, and we will NEVER stop trying.
We know that there are many worthy causes to support, and I am very grateful for the trust and confidence expressed by so many. As you know, we do not charge for any of our services, therefore, we would not be able to continue this life saving mission, if not for you.
Our mission continues.
I wish you and your family a very special Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah.
