A must for future foster parents!!

Perfect man to tackle a topic that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Excited to watch it grow.

A great man!

Love that Josh will be doing a podcast with the nee program he is doing! Josh is undoubtedly one of the best men I have ever met! Look up the definition of a stand up guy, and you’ll see his picture next to the definition. Glad to see you on Apple podcast Josh! Congrats!
