Bloom After Foundation sends widows and widowers a Valentine's Day bouquet and a note of encouragement — a reminder that they are seen, valued, and never alone.
Created to Flourish.
Faith in Action.
Love in Bloom.
Bloom After Foundation exists to honor and encourage widows and widowers through thoughtful acts of kindness that reflect God's love. Beginning with the gift of flowers each Valentine's Day, our mission is to remind those living with loss that they are remembered, valued, and not alone.
“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
How it Works
Tell us about a widow or widower in your life. Nominations stay open through December 1 each year.
Recipients are chosen from eligible nominations as funding allows, then verified before Valentine's Day.
A fresh bouquet and a handwritten note of encouragement arrive at their door on Valentine's Day.
Our Story
When Elizabeth Ferraro's neighbor unexpectedly lost her husband, she shared how lonely Valentine's Day had become — the one holiday everyone seemed to forget. Elizabeth and her husband, Justin, promised to be her Valentine.
More than a decade and many bouquets later, that quiet act of love grew into Bloom After Foundation.
