Dear Friends of A Safe Haven for Newborns, 

For 25 years, the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation, a 501(c)(3) doing business as A Safe Haven for Newborns, has worked tirelessly to save newborns from the ultimate abuse, abandonment, while assisting pregnant girls and women in their time of need or crisis. 

One of our key achievements in this lifesaving mission is our longstanding partnership with hospitals and Fire and EMS professionals. Recognizing their pivotal role in safeguarding the lives of vulnerable newborns, hospitals and staffed Fire and EMS stations are designated Safe Haven facilities, with our signage prominently displayed outside each participating location. 

The urgency of our cause cannot be overstated. Pregnant girls and women who are frightened, overwhelmed, or without the support and resources they need may feel they have nowhere to turn. In the most desperate circumstances, some may resort to abandoning their newborns, often leading to tragic outcomes. 

Through our comprehensive approach of educational campaigns, direct assistance, and the constant availability of our 24/7 multilingual and confidential helpline, we have successfully secured a future and a lifetime of love with their forever families for 445 precious newborns. This includes 434 newborns saved in Florida, 10 in other states and 1 in the country of Honduras. 

We have also assisted more than 6,000 pregnant girls and women in their time of need or crisis, facilitated direct adoptions for 74 mothers, and helped 6 parents successfully regain their parental rights. Our unwavering commitment continues to touch the lives of newborns, women, and families when they need compassion and support the most. 

Each year, we come together at our annual gala to celebrate the lives of these innocent and precious newborns. This year’s 14th Annual A Wonderland in Safe Haven Gala will be especially meaningful as we celebrate 25 years of saving the lives of the most innocent and helpless among us, newborns. 

Our celebration will take place at the InterContinental Miami on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Once again, we are honored to welcome Lauren Pastrana of CBS4 News as our Mistress of Ceremonies. 

One of the highlights of the evening will be witnessing the real-life impact of Safe Haven through the moving testimonies of children who were safely surrendered by mothers who courageously wanted them to have a future they felt they could not provide. Their stories are powerful reminders that every newborn deserves a chance for a safe, loving, and hopeful future. 

We deeply thank all our gala sponsors, guests, donors, and supporters who joined us last year for their generosity and continued commitment to our mission. 

What could be more important than saving the life of a precious, innocent newborn? 

It is my sincere hope that we can count on your support again this year for this lifesaving mission. You can help by becoming a sponsor, purchasing gala tickets, donating an auction item, making a contribution of any amount, or sharing our mission and gala through social media. 

For more information about becoming involved, please contact A Safe Haven for Newborns at 305-882- 1304, Ext. 103, or safehaven@asafehavenfornewborns.com. 

Thank you so much in advance for your consideration. Your support will enable us to continue giving the most innocent and helpless among us, newborns, a chance for a future filled with hope, opportunity, and love. 

With sincere appreciation,

Nick E. Silverio
