Hope’s Cradle Grand Opening – March 18, 2023
/
Manitoba’s first dedicated site where parents or caregivers can surrender a newborn baby anonymously is set to open at a rural fire hall, with more in the works. While abandonment is rare, Hope’s Cradle — a small hatch on an exterior wall at the fire station in Landmark — is designed for mothers who feel they have no other option. “It really is a last resort for women in very difficult circumstances,” said Susan Penner, executive director of Life Culture, a Steinbach-based non-profit which set up the site. “If you save one life, it’s already worth it.”
There are some ongoing monthly expenses for the Hope’s Cradle, such as the security system and search engine optimization. If you would be interested in committing to a monthly gift to help cover these expenses, please give our office a call at 204-326-5433.
