Safe Haven Baby Box

Renewed his push for a baby box, noting $115,000 raised privately, and asked the council to explain why the proposal was dismissed without public discussion and place it on a future agenda.

A Rowlett nurse who led that city's baby box effort said funds are raised for five boxes with Sachse as the priority, and cited rising infant surrenders and other Texas cities adopting boxes.

Urged the council to 'stand in the gap' for infants at risk, framing the baby box as a potentially life-saving community option.

Proposed a Safe Haven baby box at a Sachse fire station, funded entirely by private donations, and asked for the fire chief's consideration plus possible city coverage of the $500 annual fee.
