For years, Eloy Morin has been a critical part of our Landscape Enhancement Crew. His work has spanned both residential and commercial properties including campuses like Creighton University, Creighton Prep, and Mulhall’s Garden + Home. He’s been both a leader and a friend, and his positive and fun attitude has had a real and lasting impact on our team.

Now, as Eloy braves a difficult medical journey ahead, we invite you to join us in supporting Eloy with your own words of encouragement below and a donation if you’re able. Any amount helps!

“Eloy’s always been ready to come to work every day with a smile on his face and a joke ready to tell. And he’s never shied away from eating an entire hot pepper without even a blink – something that always personally amazed me. Even Carolina reapers.”

“Kindness, genuineness, longsuffering. These are few of the virtues that are overwhelmingly evident when I reflect on Eloy Morin. In Mr. Morin, I see a beacon of the hard-working blue collar worker that seems to now be a shade in the twilight of an era. The type of person that dipped his head to the earth and worked until our beautiful spaces were created, and with a wry smile and dirt on his callused hands, enjoyed doing so with comrades.

Sigale echando ganas. Keep on striving. I remember it was a cold winter night, we had been removing snow for hours on end. My Brahma second-hand boots had soaked through, past the triple layer of grocery sacks that had permeated the double pair of socks that I had on. Eloy, with that wry smile of his tells me no worries, echarle ganas carnal, I’ll be right back. Mr. Morin returns with a pair of snow boots and a small lunch prepared by his wife for me. We did keep on striving, we finished the job, and Eloy – we must continue to strive.

That moment of striking kindness permeated my soul. So now in Eloy’s moment of need, we must strive to get him back on his feet; if he cannot stand, let’s stand for him.”
