Your notes of encouragement for SOS mothers

We had planned to deliver your notes in person to the mothers at SOS Florida, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, we sent them via email instead. Your kind words will help these incredible women feel supported—which is vital now more than ever, during this uncertain time.

Please enjoy reading these uplifting messages below!
