All the Ways to Offer Support

Gather support for someone who matters.

Let new parents know you’re bringing dinner.

Send support from far away.

Tell friends what you could use during a tough time.

Offer your hidden skills.

Tell someone you're proud of them.

Flowers can help you organize support for someone you care about. You can let friends and family know when someone needs a hand, and make a list of the kinds of support they could use:

1. Start a new Flower
2. Describe the situation you want to help
3. Make a list of helpful support
4. Send the link to friends and family

• Think about a time when someone did something little that made a big difference in your life. It might have been a compliment or an extra hand when you needed it. That that moment, they seemed like a superhero.
• Offer your superpowers to your friends and family in Flowers. Only you know what you can offer:
  • Pet Sitter – for when they can’t make it home
  • Bad Movie Watcher – for when they could use distraction
  • Advocate – for when they could use advice
  • Waiting Buddy – for when they could use company
• Choose from one of the Suggested Superpowers in Flower or create your own.

• You can start a Flower for anyone: a friend or family member, yourself, an event you’re planning, a cause you’re supporting or anything else where Flower can help.
• If your friend already has a Flower, but doesn’t have any requests listed, you can still offer a Meal, Ride, Gift, or one of your Superpowers.

• If you can’t help with any of the specific requests listed, you can still offer a Meal, Ride, Gift, or one of your Superpowers.
• Flower will notify your friend that you’re offering to help and they can suggest a day and time.

• Your previous media-filled Flowers are temporarily unavailable.
