On April 8, a little baby girl was recovered from a “baby box” in the Coolspring Township of Indiana. This was the second time a baby had been rescued since the box was installed at the Volunteer Fire Dept.

After the first rescue back in November, the Right to Life organization posted a statement on the Safe Haven Baby Boxes Twitter page praising the fire department for putting the box in place.

The baby girl was pulled out of the box by Lt. Chuck Kohler one minute after she was placed inside it. Equipped with a silent alarm, the box alerts designated personnel when the box has been opened. It also has a button that will trigger the alarm, so a mother can know she has effectively alerted someone to retrieve the baby safely.

The nonprofit that oversees the installation of these boxes was founded by Monica Kelsey, a volunteer firefighter who was abandoned herself when she was an infant back in 1973. Since then, she has made it her mission in life to ensure that women have a safe place to leave their baby if they can’t keep them.

Monica started the nonprofit after she heard of the death of Amelia Grace Hope, a baby girl who died after being abandoned on a trail in an Indianapolis park in December 2014.

“A newborn baby girl was found dead in Eagle Creek Woods in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 28, 2014,” Monica explained on her nonprofit’s website. “The newborn baby was determined to have been full term and the baby’s placenta was still attached…The footprint in the SHBB logo is Amelia’s actual footprint and she will forever be known as the defender of the Safe Haven Law.”

We’re so glad that these boxes are giving women an alternative to abortion! Find out more about the latest rescue in the video below, and SHARE this story so your friends and family can see this as well!
