Jeff Anderson and I are super proud to be a part of this project. Donations are still being accepted to cover the actual cost of the box.
Hello All,
I am beyond excited to share the news that in early May, Travis County Fire Department will be the first in Austin to install a Safe Haven Baby Box at its 21311 W State Hwy 71 location.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes mission is to prevent illegal abandonment of newborns by raising awareness, offering a 24-hour hotline for mothers in crisis and offering the Safe Haven Baby Boxes as a last resort option for women who want to maintain complete anonymity.
The Safe Haven Baby Box takes the face-to-face interaction out of the surrender and protects the mother from being seen. The Safe Haven Baby Boxes organization's primary goal is to raise awareness of the Safe Haven Law.
This would not have been possible without the support and help of this great community, Fire Chief Tony Hayden, Lakeway Councilmember Gretchen Vance and AMD Electrical Contracting, LLC Elizabeth Baldwin Anderson for donating the electrical installation for our box.
So what now? We Fundraise! Below is a flyer that can be shared with a QR code and a link to the fundraising site. 100% of donations will go to this box and any extra will go towards the other two boxes we hope to put in this year. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions. Thank you again everyone!
