There’s something just so right about a group of beautiful people (who happen to be caregivers) coming together to share a meal, some laughs and time with others who make the journey a bit more joyful.

It’s a very difficult and lonely journey and very nice to interact with people who have the same situations.” – one of our wonderful caregivers Now Welcoming New Families Know a family that needs Joy’s House?
