Stories STOP ASKING, “HOW ARE YOU?” I hate it when someone asks me, “how are you?” Actually, I don’t really mind the question when someone I don’t know asks. I recognize it for what it is - conversational fluff. Most of the time it’s asked in passing and no one is really listening to the answer. We never expect an honest response, because to really delve into the question requires time and space.

A world with the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge and the Rwandan genocide. I believe in the insignificance of each life.

TESTIMONIALS

Amazing customer service!! The package I sent felt like my love went to their front door within a few days. I know it meant a lot to them and it meant a lot to me to give them something other than flowers (which will die eventually, why do we gift our grievers something that's going to remind them of dying?!).

Lauren B.

My co-workers and I are simply amazed by your customer service. We are a team of nurses who live all over the United States and work together virtually. When a dear co-worker's mom passed away, we wanted to send something other than flowers to show her how much we care. Your superior customer service has taken this experience to a level that we didn't think existed anymore. Thank you for all your care and

thoughtfulness

Jennifer S.

My mother's cousin passed away very suddenly and I purchased a Here For You box for her husband and daughters. We're Jews and were going to be sitting Shiva - which these boxes seem practically made for. As soon as the box arrived I got a text from our cousin's husband who was blown away by how helpful this box was. He wrote, 'Got the package - thank you. The perfect thing to send.'

Nikki R.

When one of my close friends lost a family member I wanted to send him something more personal, and more useful, than flowers. The package was so good that the family reached out to me to thank me and explain how wonderful the gift was. They were having family over and ended up needing most of the items in the package.

Melanie H.

Here For You offered me a wonderful gift option for a dear friend who was in the thick of grief. It is often difficult to figure out what a person might need or want after a loss and I was very grateful to find Here For You. It really allowed me to show my care in a practical and thoughtful way and I was able to give her items that she actually needed! I highly recommend this gift box!

Indy G.

The Zinnia came in the most beautiful box you can imagine--a sea of vibrantly outlined blooms that will never wilt. It was the type of support I needed but did not know I wanted. Nothing will wilt, nothing will spoil, it will wait for me to be ready to engage in a bath soak, to light a candle, to heal.
