Roses for Autism

            I’m going to talk about Roses for Autism. This is an organization that put its profit toward those with autism and helping them out. Their mission is “to foster meaningful employment and personal success for individuals with Autism”. They sell flowers to make money and support students. All their money funds scholarships and programs for “career training”. By participating with this organization, people can gain “valuable work experience and develop professional and social skills leading to meaningful employment and personal success”. Their roses are beautiful and fresh-cut. This business employs many individuals with Autism and supports “transitioning students”.

            Roses for Autism offers 12 kinds of fresh roses, 3 kinds of lilies, and gerbera daisies. The flowers are very pretty, but what they stand for is absolutely amazing and beautiful. You can make special orders or go in the store and pick some out for anyone for any occasion. They guarantee “next-day delivery anywhere in the U.S.”. These are very good for special events.

            They assist transitioning students and other young adults to help them find their strengths and to help them learn the skills they need to get a job and also to reach their own personal goals and success. They rely on the community to buy the flowers and stand by them and show support. “Our strength is our people” they say. They really are passionate about what they do and you can see their dedication to the people they are helping. They help them develop in their “abilities, talents, and skills”.

            You can get involved by volunteering, joining a partnership with them, donating, fundraising for them, or just talking to them on their website on in store. This really is a great cause and I support them and hope to see them around for a long time. They may be a small business, but the amount of support they receive makes it possible for them to make such a big difference in the world.
