Ramsey, NJ — Through the National Caring Awards the Caring Institute seeks to identify, honor, and reinforce the activities of particularly caring Americans—those who ennoble the human race by transcending self in service to others. Each year the Caring Institute recognizes 10 adults, and 5 young adults through the National Caring Awards.
This year for the first time in its 14 year history the Caring Institute is honoring prolifer Kathy DiFiore of Ramsey, N.J. for her twenty years of sheltering unwed mothers and saving babies from abortion. In 1981 DiFiore decided to offer her home as a shelter for pregnant women who were seeking an alternative to abortion. In 1984 she was fined $10,000 for running an unlicensed boarding home by the State of New Jersey. In the wake of the despair of having to possibility close her doors, she called Mother Teresa. Soon the fine was dropped and DiFiore has since led her Several Sources Foundation to new heights year after year.
On Friday, November 16th, DiFiore will be inducted into The Hall of Fame for Caring Americans, which is a permanent memorial with biographies and portraits of extraordinary individuals who have been selected to receive a National Caring Award. The Museum is a memorial to goodness and is an intellectual and spiritual oasis, which includes men, women and youth from all walks of life that have dedicated their lives in service to others.
This museum is dedicated to the spirit of those men and women who have devoted their lives in service to others. Frederick Douglass, whose first Washington, DC home makes up part of the historic property, is a shining example of the type of person memorialized in this museum dedicated to caring.
To date Several Sources Foundation has helped over 15,000 mothers and their babies, and the numbers are growing. They also operates a 24 hour 1-800-NO-ABORT hotline for pregnant women and numerous informative websites including www.thechoicegame.com in which the player realizes the consequences of the choices including such topics as promiscuity, drinking, abortion or leading a chaste lifestyle before making such decisions in real life.
