Update #4. Got my last bouqet sent. Thank you for helping me guys. I love you.
Update #3. Just got done ordering my second bouquet. I couldn't believe I had found a truck that was an exact mini replica of the one that I used to sit in as a kid, Earl's truck. It was the most bitchin' (fun fact if you've ever heard me say bitchin' it's because I got it from Earl, and it basically means "fucking epic") truck I've ever seen to date. It was his surfing truck ( he was a boss) and he kept it vintage mint AF. And then to have my nannys flowers be sitting in the bed of his truck it was too perfect. And I felt like they would have liked to see they message I wrote. Inspired by my selfless friends. Thank you Arthur Robert and Brooks it means the world to me.
Sunflowers, if you didn't know, symbolize adoration. I couldn't pick a better word for how I feel about them or for how I know they feel about each other.
Update #2: I called today and was able to talk to Earl, they loved the flowers. However i hung up the phone crying, I am going to send more bouqests because lifting someone's spirits is something that i love. However this has turned into a much bigger goal for me... stay tuned.
UPDATE #1 Oct 18th. I sent my first bouquet today and I cannot wait for them to arrive. I didnt send the original one because they dont have same day and DAMN that shipping, BUT this one comes in a cute mason jar and its perfect, I will be sending more though. As many as my goal will allow. Grand gestures are not always necessary but sometimes they are needed :). Thank you for helping me DD and "Anon" (but i know who), you are amazing people, sunflowers :).
I do not want to write a long sad story, but the two people who raised me from a newborn to 4 years old, who ignited my spirit, and who deserve the world, are not doing well as I found out today. Once i moved away from them i continued to visit frequently until my life spun me in a direction where i no longer could visit. I still send cards and gifts on special occasions but I have not known what to say to them for a long time. I would really like to raise enough to go visit them before I am no longer able to, but I am not sure if i can do that in time. So instead I am going to be sending sunflowers or bouquets of them. As many as I can for as long as i can. The sunflowers come into play because my Nanny (Slyvia) loves them and her husband Earl, loves her. It is the most pure love I have ever seen and they showed that to me during my youngest days. I WILL be sending as many her as I can i will work harder than ever, but it would mean the world to me and honestly; to them, if those of you would like to help me show the people who gave me a fighting chance, how I kicked ass. They would be so happy to know that I became someone that mattered to others. In some way, I matter to you enough to help me give another person a gift. if I have not shown you that I am worth this goal, please let me show you I am.
The picture i have up first is a real bouquet from a local shop where they live that I want to send. To be completely transparent it costs:
Standard= $79.95/ Deluxe=$99.95/Premium=$139.95. plus 20 for S/H. I would love to send this one later as it is yes, extravagant, but also takes some time to organize (Apparently haha).
Please keep in mind that models do not obviously receive the same amount of tokens you paid. A rough example would be every 100 tokens= 3 dollars. not 5. unless you think we don't pay taxes, we do. So all said and done for me to send the deluxe bouquet of the first pic, i would need at least 2200 tokens (shipping and shit you know
I know this may not get many contributors but to those of you who do, thank you for being my friend. If you would like to just get a whole bouquet, i would be more than happy and want to write your name on the card along with mine. That is how special this is to me.
I will be uploading proof of purchase and delivery for all naysayers so don't even try.
