Once my son was born I knew I wanted to protect and sustain the life of young children. So I joined the medical field. Carter would regularly accompany me at work, and help put bandaids on anyone he could see- sick or healthy- everyone got a bandaid! My hope is to prevent what happened to our family from happening to other families. My wife and I also started this foundation to help create a better community for everyone’s children.
My name is Brittany Bloom, and I am Carter’s mom. From the time he was a baby, I shared my passion for the environment with him. We raised butterflies together, and Carter and his little brother Milo loved exploring nature—bugs, birds, and all kinds of creatures—during our time in Florida. Carter especially loved going to the beach to collect shells and rocks. He had the gentlest soul and showed so much kindness to the planet. We created this foundation to honor his life and help build a better, more caring world for all children.
I worked with co-operatives for 16 years, where I taught kids everything from physics to graphic design. Carter was a light in my life. We listened to music together, we explored the city, and we were working on his reading. When I was approached to become part of the Blooming Flower Foundation, I jumped at the opportunity.
Blooming Flower Foundation is dedicated to creating a better tomorrow through hard work and dedication today.
