Our goal may be high, but the thought of bringing a smile and some comfort to a child who is hospitalized or at home with an illness is a goal worth striving to achieve. 

Just Mom, Inc. is a group of individuals who gathered together their dreams and business sense to make a difference to a child’s well being and health by providing a way for others to send comfort to children in hospitals by purchasing and donating a plush toy to a child who is suffering from a life-threatening illness.

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."  Ralph Waldo Emerson

With much thanks and appreciation, we truly value your interest and support.

Just Mom's Founder, Gina Gippner-Woods is the inspiration behind our comfort products and philosophy. Out of her own personal "life" experiences, she has never lost sight of her vision to bring comfort to children.  

Gina is married to Kenny Woods, and has three wonderful children, recently becoming a grandmother to Cadyance. She writes a column: Just Mom, and works hard to make her dream of a "toy on every ill child's bed" come true.  

She would like to encourange you to call or write if you would like to learn more about how you too can bring comfort to a child.

Please call Gina at: (805) 497-0534 or e-mail at:  justmominc@yahoo.com

Gina's best friend, and mother of two sons, Melody has been instrumental in helping get Just Mom, Inc. off the ground. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is have a friend who believes in us and what we are doing, and for Gina... that person is Melody.

Melody is the one who put the words behind our mission: "To comfort the hurts and hearts of children." Melody's niece, September Alonzo, of Temberwolf Graphics designed our "Just Mom" logo.  If you need help with your graphic needs she may be reached at: tember@rocketmail.com

Having met Gina Gippner-Woods in person through a mutual military organization, Gina shared the story of her vision to comfort children in hospitals, and Jan instantly knew she would become a vital part of this vision.

Jan and Gina work together to promote opportunities for others to donate gifts of comfort.
