Inspiration

“When I started Giving Petals, I had one particular person who helped inspire me. My husband is 36, and he has dyslexia. He has told me stories about growing up in a society that didn’t even want to acknowledge or say the word dyslexia and made it very hard for him to get the help he needed. It took his mother pushing back to get the school system to step up and help.”
