Planting Seeds of Hope

 
Nothing is more exciting than the promise of green grass, flowers and longer daylight, especially after the cold winter we just experienced! This Spring also brings an opportunity to make a donation to the Oesterlen Flower Fund in honor or memory of a loved one. 
 
With your gift, a flower will be planted across our sprawling 100-acre campus in honor or memory of a loved one, friend or family member of your designation. Most significantly, some of these flowers will be tended in our Life Skills Center Greenhouse prior to planting. 
 
In the Greenhouse, a child is able to participate in the lifecycle of plants, tending them from tiny seedlings to sprouts and finally to strong plants ready to place in the ground. This cycle would not be successful without the love and tender care given to each seedling. 
 
Isn’t that what we also all hope for in the lives of the children at Oesterlen? The opportunity to see the strength that exists within each of them as they are rebuilding a past hurt, utilizing new and positive life skills and finally placing roots in a strong future. 
 
To make a donation to the flower appeal either online or by mail, please go to this link and be sure to mention it is for the flower appeal (online, it can be noted in the “in honor of” window). https://www.oesterlen.org/how-to-help/make-a-donation
