After two brain surgeries, I found myself searching for purpose and a way to heal. I discovered that donating flowers to people who are lonely not only brings them joy, but also gives me a reason to keep going. About half of the flowers I give come from my own yard, but the ones that really stand out are purchased from a local farmer or Trader Joe’s. The costs add up quickly, especially since my main source of income is dog sitting. Every bouquet I deliver is arranged in a mason jar, which I purchase for each delivery, and sometimes I need to take an Uber home after picking up flowers.

I know firsthand what it feels like to be lonely, and I also know how much a simple visit and a bouquet of flowers can mean to someone who needs a little light in their day. The flowers last after I’m gone, but it’s the visit and the connection that truly matter.

I often close my eyes and just hope I’ll have enough to keep going, but I would love for others to be part of this journey with me. Your support will help cover the cost of flowers, vases, and transportation, making it possible for me to continue spreading kindness and companionship to those who need it most. It would mean the world to me to keep doing this, and I would also love for people to join my group, SPREAD KINDNESS EVERY DAY, so together we can make an even bigger impact. Thank you for helping me find purpose and for joining me in making a difference, one bouquet at a time.
