Alexis Avila, 19, was found guilty of throwing her newborn son into a dumpster at the Broadmoor Shopping Center in Hobbs, New Mexico, January 2022.
In an effort to help mothers in crisis, a community effort is underway to raise funds and install a Safe Haven Baby Box at the Belen Fire Department.
Officials reminded New Mexicans of the state's "Safe Haven" laws which allow newborns to be surrendered at a fire station, police station or hospital.
The suspect had reportedly delivered the baby earlier that day in the bathroom at home.
