When I first started this journey, I was just a single mom of 5 trying to get off welfare I also had gotten away from abusive relationship and off of drugs and build a better life for my kids. I didn’t have much, but I had determination — and three little helpers who learned right beside me. We started blowing balloons when they wereyoung they always started helping at around five years old. Of course, I was right there guiding them, helping with what they couldn’t reach, and teaching them every step of the way.
They like to joke that they were “voluntold” to help 🤪 but that’s how we survived — together. Some people might not understand, but I know God does. He took me out of addiction, gave me purpose, and helped me build something from nothing.
We started in a tiny two-bedroom house, surrounded by animals, kids balloons, and chaos 😂 and somehow made it work. From there, God elevated me — first to a little shop, then to a bigger one, and now to the best space I’ve ever had. I used to have to rent U-Hauls every weekend to make my large deliveries and now I have my own cargo truck as well as my shop. I’m so thankful for every person who’s supported us along the way.
Right now, things are tough again — it’s a struggle, but I know God will pull me through like He always does. The struggle just means there’s another lesson on the way. 🙏
As we head into the holidays, I’ll be offering Ballooniverse gift certificates for Black Friday at half price! 🎈 If you’re planning to order balloons at all in the near future , please consider grabbing one or more — it helps turn my slow months into a busy, blessed one. ❤️
Surprisingly, I am not busy during the holiday season; I never have been. I always tend to have a lot of baby showers, birthdays, and anniversaries throughout the year, and those slow down during these holiday months.
There are other times during the year when it slows down also, so you ever see me put my 1/2 off certificates up for sale, just know I'm in a crunch and could really use your support!
FYI, my certificates never expire!
