Flower Power!

Running the Barbera Foundation has been an incredibly positive experience for me for many reasons.. one of them being that I am able to meet some amazing people who are devoted to lifting up others and bringing about positive change in our community. One person in particular, who helped to inspire this event, is named Jessica. Jessica is a survivor of domestic abuse and devotes much of her time helping women who are unfortunately going through similar circumstances.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessica and discussing various ways the Barbera Foundation could assist her in helping women of domestic violence. Jessica mentioned that women of domestic violence are displaced and practically come to shelters with no more than they are wearing. They are incredibly vulnerable, and need to know that they are cared for, thought of, and loved. They need to feel beautiful and confident.

We decided that a great way to help, would be to deliver bouquets of flowers to all of the mothers living at Shelter House (www.shelterhouse.org). (Shelter House is a community-based, non-profit organization that provides crisis intervention, safe housing, and supportive services to homeless families and victims of domestic violence in our community.)

We will need approximately 100 bouquets of flowers ($20 each) for the mothers at Shelter House.

We need YOUR help to make this event possible!

If you would like to purchase a bouquet for a victim of domestic abuse this Mother's day, please simply register for this event and purchase a ticket(s). Each ticket will help to pay for one bouquet of flowers.

In addition, we would also like to attach a personalized card to each of the bouquets that we donate. If possible, please write a Mother's Day card with an uplifting/inspirational note and send to:

The Barbera Foundation

PO Box 2293

Reston, VA 20195
