A Safe Haven For Newborns (Shaped by Faith)
Lori Lewis is an ambassador for “A Safe Haven for Newborns.”
I met Lori a few months ago after she attended my Shaped by Faith Pilates class at OCC Rec Center for the first time. I was immediately drawn to Lori because of the love that she displays to everyone she meets. She introduced herself to me before I had a chance to welcome her to my class. I was so glad God brought her to my Pilates class that day. Lori and her husband have dedicated their lives to fostering children and adopting one of the first Safe Haven Newborns.
