I set this page up in hopes that family and friends near and far may be able to send my sister Ashley some love and support during her current medical struggles. I know Ashley and she would never, ever ask for help, so I'm doing it for her.

Ashley gave birth to Ashton earlier this year via cesarean. She required surgery in October for some serious issues that arose. Yesterday she required a second surgery (number 3 this year) to correct some serious issues that arose from her October procedure. She is looking at yet another surgery in the future to follow up on the latest one and with 3 small boys, one of whom is still an infant in need of mommy at all times, I want to offer her some help.

Her mobility is greatly limited to ensure her recovery goes smoothly. As you can imagine, being cooped up and unable to move, do things she loves like cook and clean (you KNOW Ashley loves to clean) or even pick up her children is incredibly difficult to deal with!

This is where you can help. I'd like to set up a meal train for her family. If you can pitch in for delivery or provide a home cooked meal, please volunteer below. I'd also ask that if you have a chance you call or text her, send a card, or visit her when she is up for that! Most of all, please just pray for her full recovery and for her health to be restored so she can get back to enjoying her three beautiful boys and her husband, Jason!

Send a heartwarming message of goodwill and affection to help your loved ones feel better  All of our flower bouquets are guaranteed to help lift their spirits. For a loved one who is ill or recovering a sustainably grown bouquet will help them know they are loved and heal.
(If you're sending to someone with a Give InKind page, you might check first to see if they've indicated a preference for 'no flowers').
We're helping farmers all over the world grow their business. Our Farm to Table Bouqs are cut the day you order and shipped from one of our farm partners so they last. All our farms practice sustainable, eco-friendly farming, and we cut only what we sell - so we don't waste 1 out of every 3 stems like others.
$12 Nationwide Delivery, Free for Weekday Orders $100+
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because flowers are always a lovely surprise. These bouquets are even more meaningful because they are grown in a sustainable manner. They practice eco-friendly farming and support small farms. What's not to love?

Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

The gift of a cupboard full of basic necessities is tremendous. It is a wonderful way to remind those you love that you have not forgotten the day-to-day challenges they face. You are telling them in no uncertain terms that they are not alone.
What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about the things you have to get done every day. I hope you'll let me help a little by giving me a chance to buy you some groceries - and have them delivered to you. Just one lest task for you to worry about. I send you my love.
