The biggest day of the year for Miami’s philanthropic community is right around the corner. Give Miami Day, a 24-hour online campaign to raise funds for your favorite local charities, will take place on Thursday, November 18, starting at the stroke of midnight. For us at Safe Haven for Newborns is a very special day too. Your tax-deductible donations allow us to continue our mission to help the most vulnerable among us, the newborn.
We believe every child needs an opportunity to be born, to have a loving family, and to live their dreams. And it all begins when they are still in their mother’s womb. To us, it is very important to reach her before she gives birth. To let her know she is not alone, to be her safe haven in her moment of crisis and provide the support and guidance she needs.
Donations raised during Give Miami Day will enable us to continue to provide the essential programs she needs. It will help us operate the 24/7 confidential, multilingual helpline. It will allow us to continue partnering with agencies across all 67 Florida counties to provide counseling and parenting services; make arrangements for placement in shelters, maternity homes, provide temporary housing, help for abuse cases, and health-related issues. It would also allow us to provide baby items, referrals to adoption agencies, or confidentially placing their newborn with a staff member of a designated safe haven facility -- hospitals, manned 24/7 fire and EMS stations.
We are never judgmental, and we help everyone. Our mission is to give the mother-to-be a chance to carry the unborn child to term in a safe environment by providing her with the guidance and support she needs.
