The Gloria M. Silverio Foundation 501c(3) dba A Safe Haven for Newborns has assisted more than 6,000 young women in their time of crisis; and has saved 391 newborns from the danger of abandonment, according to a news release.
In order to continue expanding the services and reach the women who are facing an unexpected pregnancy, the organization plans to buy an existing structure or plot of land in 2024, in Miami.
The vision for the new home is to have a permanent, functional space where Safe Haven personnel will continue to grow the programs and create new projects, offer more services, grow the outreach program and increase awareness, as well as a dedicated space to house the 24/7 confidential multilingual referral helpline operators.
Plans also call for a thrift store of baby items and a designated rental space with a separate entrance.
The Bricks of Hope Capitol Building Campaign’s goal is to raise $1 million.
