I'd like to share, as a result of the Angel Tree program we have been doing for the Headstart children since 2012, I decided to start a non profit organization. April 5th 2016, we received the state of Florida's approval for our non-profit organization: The Lily Blossoms Foundation. Our corporate purpose is: empowering underprivileged youth buy igniting drive and desire to change the cycle of life
. The name of the foundation comes from my background, as I became a mother at 14, to my now 19 year old pre-med student, Lily. She has always been my driving force to succeed along with my two other children. I've worked diligently to provide a different life for her than what I knew. In due time, because of my drive to persevere my life blossomed allowing me to get out from underneath the poverty line. My goal is to show young people that anything is possible regardless of circumstance! We plan to have different programs to encourage hope for today's underprivileged youth. We will continue the angel tree program and this year plan to double the amount of children we've supported all together. That means we are looking to support 240 children this year!! We have also just began our first event to support underprivileged youth sports! What makes our organization different than majority, we focus more on necessity instead of abundance. As our belief surrounds the thought: abundance impairs the ignition of drive and/or desire to want more than what is known. This is just the beginning of our planned movement for our future generations!
