What is Carry the Future?

From their website…

Carry the Future started as a single, modest Indiegogo campaign to raise $2,500 and 100 baby carriers for Cristal (CTF Founder) to send to family she had in Greece so they could deliver them to refugees arriving by boat to their shores. As a result of the campaign going viral, Cristal received support from volunteers inspired and offering to help. Carry the Future is now a network of over 3000 volunteers across the globe and donations continue to flow in from supporters everywhere on a daily basis. Read more

Because of the “waves” made by posting our policy, we wanted to follow up with experts who specialize in the science of disease transmission to make sure our plan was as helpful and appropriate as possible.

Earlier this week we posted our policy in the event of a measles outbreak in close proximity to Madison.

Since then there has been quite a bit of discussion on our Facebook page.

We have also received several media inquiries and inquiries from other organizations wondering about sharing our policy with their clients. Read more

SEEKING NEW OWNERS!

Send some love to HB if you ever thought “I don’t know what I would have done without the ‘bino” – we hear it over and over, and it never fails to make us grateful to have been a part of such an amazing business.

Folks still thank us regularly for opening Happy Bambino – but the reality has always been that though we sparked the business, it’s grown into something so much larger than us mamas. Happy Bambino – with the help of amazing babies, parents, families, and community members – has grown a rich life of it’s own. Read more
