What Caregivers Say:
“I’m so glad a high school classmate told me about Joy Meadows! I was searching for resources after gaining guardianship of my great nephew & 2 great nieces. Going from a single mom of 1 to a single mom of 4 was a huge adjustment for everyone. The kids have enjoyed the Second Saturday events - playing with other kids, petting the animals & the fast train rides. We’ve been blessed by their closing closet, garden & I even received a gift card in the mail. I know our family is their prayers & I’m still exploring the resources they offer. Knowing that you’re not alone in a difficult situation makes a big difference.”
—New Foster Parent
“We already had other children in our home and were on our way to Joy Meadows when we got a call to pick up a little boy in an emergency situation. We were able to spend family time in a safe place, and also get clothing for this little boy right away to meet his needs. What Joy Meadows is doing matters.”
—Experienced Foster Parent
“She feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in her skills as a horse rider and that’s amazing because there are few things she feels that way about.”
—Foster Parent, about animal sessions
