"I knew from the moment I met Willow, she would do great things! The movement has inspired my kids and I to attempt a Willow's Day activity every month. I love seeing my children want to do our Willow's day activity on their own doing. At age four, Zach wanted to do a toy drive for kids that don’t have toys. So we did. He collected over 200 toys. I am able to see the way the Ashlie’s Embrace and Forget-Me-Not Baskets touch lives up close. The Willow Movement has just expanded that to a beautiful outpouring of love for families in need - not to mention all of the people touched in October by each activity on the calendar."

"I love all the random acts of kindness. It’s always nice to think of how we can help others and show them how much we appreciate them, whether it’s a stranger or someone we love."
