402 INFANTS SAVED
By: Nick Silverio, Founder
When I first embarked on my lifelong mission to help innocent unborn infants, to give them a chance at life, that 23 years later the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation through the tireless efforts of A Safe Haven for Newborns, would celebrate the lives of 402 infants. With each life saved, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have so many people join me in bringing hope, peace, and happiness to those that feel those they love have abandoned them.
I never imagined we could save so many lives. But this happens when you lead with your heart and you surround yourself with like-minded individuals. From the partnerships that have been nurtured over the years with the Florida fire services and healthcare system to our benevolent supporters that give generously of their time and support our fundraising efforts, we are making a difference.
