What are Flowers?
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:
- Start a new Flower
- Describe the situation you want to help
- Make a list of helpful support
- Send the link to friends and family
What are superpowers?
- 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.

How do I offer support to my friend who isn't asking for help?
- 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.
