What does a hole in the wall in Barcelona have to do with babies? In this episode, we trace back the roots of a medieval practice used to give unwanted infants a better life. Furthermore, this practice is going through a revival thanks to a firefighter and medic from Indiana named Monica Kelsey.

Special thanks to Elena for translation assistance as well as Monica Kelsey for taking some time for an interview. You can find out more about Monica and her mission at www.safehavenbabyboxes.com.
