The Love Waggle: A 40-Year Journey of Love and Hope

In a small home filled with the rhythm of love and creativity, a mother once had a dream. Jody Cortez’s mother believed in the power of comfort. How a single touch, a warm embrace, or even a soft, gentle companion could change a child’s world. She envisioned a doll, not just any toy, but one that could truly bring love into the hearts of children who needed it most.

For years, this vision stayed close to her heart. She shared her dream with her son, Jody, a talented musician whose life was filled with melodies and stories. Though Jody’s career took him around the world, the dream of The Love Waggle never faded. It was a promise waiting to be fulfilled.

Decades passed, and the idea began to take form. Inspired by the belief that every child deserves to feel loved and supported, The Love Waggle Book Series was born. A heartfelt collection of stories about self-empowerment, kindness, and the magical beings sent to remind children they are perfect just as they are. But the dream wasn’t complete. Jody knew that the love his mother once imagined had to be something children could hold close.

And so, after 40 years in the making, The Love Waggle Doll became a reality.

This isn’t just a doll. It’s an emotional support companion, a source of comfort for children in hospitals, struggling with illness, loneliness, or fear. With every soft touch and glowing heart, The Love Waggle whispers the words every child deserves to hear: “You are loved.”

But love is meant to be shared. That’s why The Love Waggle is on a mission, placing these dolls in hospitals across the USA, bringing smiles to children who need them most. And because love should extend to all, 5% of every sale will go toward supporting homeless shelters, helping families find warmth and hope.

This project is more than a book. More than a doll. It’s a movement, one that has taken four decades of love, patience, and dedication to bring to life. And now, we invite you to be a part of it.
