Newborn Lifeline Network

Safe Place for Newborns is proud to announce a partnership with Newborn Lifeline Network -a national 24/7 telephone crisis line, whose mission is to prevent newborn abandonment by connecting women with resources in her local community.

Firefighters

Firefighter Ken Vandermeir was on duty late one evening when a baby was safely relinquished to the safe haven program.  Although his fire station is a  fully equipped as an Advanced Life Support station, Ken realized that they were not prepared to contend with the unique needs that a newborn baby has.

Ken and his wife have established First Care Kits to help fire stations be prepared to receive a child into a safe haven program.  If your state permits newborns to be dropped off at fire stations, you will find it helpful to check them out. www.firstcarekits.com.
