'Joey Fosters Love' Program

The amount of babies, children, & teens around the world currently in need of a safe home, and someone to love them is both horrifying & mind boggling. Good, loving, willing foster parents are in high demand- and here at The HJC their willingness to serve and love freely does not go unacknowledged. Fostering comes with unique challenges, and with sometimes constant cycling of little ones to provide for, the expenses & 'to-do lists' add up quickly.

We also recognize that any and ALL infants MUST HAVE close to constant physical contact for proper physical & emotional development- but infants separated from their mothers need even more comforting. Our goal is to provide Joeys to parents fostering either gifted, or at a price that is reasonable for their situation. Joey's unique fabric and design allows for nearly instant access to a soothing womb-like pouch, giving baby the closeness and connection it so desperately needs while giving parents an extra hand.

We also encourage foster parents to use the Joey for the well known- seemingly magical, 'skin to skin' therapy. The versatility of Joey allows parents to meet the needs of a variety of ages (newborn, baby, toddlers) with one simple piece. Our first encounter, witnessing the transformation of a restless newborn foster baby- into instant peace, calm, security, and rest seconds after settling into a Joey was enough to make anyone cry tears of Joey Joy. 

"It was love at first sight. This carrier was everything I wanted just didn’t know it yet, and a true answer to unasked prayers. The Joey gave me peace of mind numerous times with several foster babies and has allowed me to hold them close, to comfort their souls and establish a much needed bond and attachment that is so important for all kids to have but especially foster babies. This attachment is the foundation for their whole lives and is what their futures depend on for building relationships and bonding for years to come. Joey is my favorite thing, to slip my little love into and watch her melt into me as she drifts into complete contentment and peace. So grateful for Joey, and I love how convenient it is to wear as a scarf for easy access or stash away in a small bundle in my purse. I truly appreciate the love and care put into it's creation, the fabric is unbelievable, it’s like second skin and so effortless. I’m am absolute in love!!!"
