ABOUT US
We are a certified 501c3 Non-profit operating out of Milwaukee Wisconsin. The mission is simple; "Spreading Hope, One Bouquet at a time." Our volunteers deliver flowers to cancer patients receiving treatments with messages of hope and positivity to carry them through their journey. Although the hope we spread has no boundaries, we still operate out of our original location, Froedtert Clinical Cancer Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Froedtert is where Terese Ulickey began spreading her flowers of hope while battling cancer herself. Early on in 2016, Terese Ulickey was facing her third bout with metastatic breast cancer when her family and friends wanted to raise her spirits for her first day back to treatment. An out pouring of support raised more than $2,000 in less than 24 hours, all to show support to Terese with her favorite thing, Flowers. The outpouring of support meant Terese not only got a handful of bouquets for her first treatment, it also meant she would be getting two more for her treatments proceeding that. After getting flowers for herself a couple weeks, Terese wanted to pay it forward and share her flowers with others that were battling cancer, just to brighten their day. With a new outlook on treatments, Terese went into them with a smile knowing that she had a chance to make someone else's day. It did not matter the type of cancer they had, who they were, or what their story was, Terese simply checked herself in, and asked if there was anyone who could use a smile that day. After hundreds of treatments herself, and many flowers delivered to others, Terese fought cancer with a smile on her face until her last day on August 13th of 2019. Terese's family and friends knew her mission of helping others had potential to help many more, they created Terese's Flowers of Hope in her name. Her family and friends now help run the non-profit that is fully funded by donations and operated by volunteers. With over 500 deliveries and counting, we have spread many smiles and most importantly, a lot of hope to cancer patients all across Wisconsin and the United States.
