“A Safe Haven for Newborns” is dedicated to reaching young women across Florida, who are hiding their pregnancy, who might otherwise abandon their unwanted newborn, an unthinkable act, but an act of panicked desperation by mothers who believe themselves to be abandoned, without support or resources. We are the safety net, possibly the last resort for a girl or mother at her moment of crisis, very often facing life and death issues. So far to date, over 402 newborns now have a future to be all they can be and over 6,000 women have been assisted in their time of crisis. Visit our web site at www.asafehavenfornewborns.com.
