Flourish Boxes

November 12, 2023 Update: We are humbled to realize that since we started sending Flourish Boxes in 2019, we have been able to package 140 gifts for women (and a few men!) who are walking through various trials. What a beautiful opportunity this has been for us to share with others the hope that is found in Knowing Jesus and His Word.

To fund a box for a specific lady, use the GoFundMe platform to make your donation, and then fill out a nominate form on our website HERE . Our team will match up your donation with your nominee. If you prefer to use Venmo, we also accept gifts @iwillflourish24

To learn more about our flourish boxes, to read testimonials, or to see more pictures of the boxes we send, please visit our site at www.iwillflourish.org. There is also a free set of downloadable Scripture cards for you to download there that we hope will be a blessing to you!

Hey friends, Sarah Head here. Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our GoFundMe.

In 2016 I remember reading a headline about a young mother who took her life in the Target parking lot a few cities over from me.

According to her family and friends, this mom looked fine on the surface. Nobody noticed that anything was "off" with her, but this mom was obviously struggling so much that she thought the only way out was to take her own life.

As unimaginable as this may seem to many, I understand what this young mom was going through because I, too, experienced postpartum depression with all three of my pregnancies. Had it not been for a strong support system and the grace of God, I could have easily been that mom in the Target parking lot.

Through my season of battling postpartum depression, I learned several things. I learned how to seek help from friends, family and a medical team when necessary. I learned to lower the expectations I put on myself. And most importantly, I learned to fight depression head on with the Word of God.

The Lord began to stir my heart and give me a burden for other moms who were struggling in the post-partum season. In 2018, I got to walk with my sweet friend Sarah Best as she brought her second little one into the world. Sarah and I both found such comfort in the Scriptures during our postpartum seasons, and we both knew we wanted to figure out a way that we could bring light to moms who were battling darkness amidst such transition.

We decided to put together a list of all the Scriptures we were clinging to so we could share them with friends we knew who were having babies. Then we thought it would be really neat to put together a whole gift box for these mamas - to let them know they were seen, they were loved, and they were not alone.

So in 2019, we self-funded the supplies and mailed out our first 12 Flourish Boxes. Since then, we have expanded the vision of the ministry and are sending boxes to weary women walking through hardship, as well as teenage girls who are struggling with depression or identity issues.

We feel like the Lord wants us to continue sending out these boxes, and we are at a place where we need people to partner with us now. Every donation made goes directly to men and women who need a breath of fresh air.

Our heart is to love on and nurture those in places of darkness and to give them a chance to take a deep breath. We also hope to equip them with the resources we send in our boxes.

It would mean the world to us if you would consider partnering with us so that we can touch more women like Sarah Stark (yes another Sarah), who was nominated to receive a box. This is what she had to say:

"When I received your box, I had no idea it was coming or what it was, but after I opened it I was filled with tears and comfort... just at the time I needed it. I use the water bottle you gave, I look at the daily verse cards you sent, two different days when we really needed a meal provided we used the Uber Eats Gift Card you sent, and I have treasured every other item in the box. Your support and encouragement to me as a mother was something like I would have received from my mom if she was still alive, and God knew to send me that kind of love through y’all."
