Cori Salchert is a hospice mom. What's that? Basically, she says she's ready and willing to receive babies into her home with her family who have a life-limiting prognosis or terminal diagnosis. Her job? Is to love them just like a mama for whatever time they have before they pass away.
She has 8 biological children and have fostered or adopted 7 more children. Cori says she and her family aren't professionals; they're just here, telling their story so others are aware of the needs of these babies, and how much other people could change things, too, by being brave and being willing to come alongside a child who needs love and care for a brief season.
