Homer
Nominated By:
Her Sister
The Story:
Sylvia, also lovingly known as “Homer,” is deeply thoughtful, creative, and family-oriented, the kind of person who notices the little things and makes the people she loves feel known and cared for.
At 33, she is carrying an enormous amount of grief: her mom, Lil, died in October 2025, and less than ten months later, Homer lost her beloved sister and best friend since childhood, Shelly, after her long battle with cancer. Just a few years apart, Homer and Shelly shared a bond all their own: they texted constantly, knew each other’s favorite things, shared a wonderfully silly sense of humor, and even called each other Homer, a nickname so beloved that Sylvia’s children knew Shelly as “Aunt Homer.”
When Shelly was widowed years ago, Homer opened her home to her while she grieved and rebuilt her life; after her mom died and Shelly became ill again, Homer was preparing to create a space for Shelly to heal, but the future they dreamt was one they never got to have.
Now Sylvia is trying to navigate the profound sadness of losing the person she would normally turn to in a moment like this, while raising two young children and keeping up with all the ordinary demands of a life that somehow keeps moving when your own world has turned upside down.
It is time for our community to surround Homer, to acknowledge her grief, and remind her that she is seen and cared for.
Likes:
Homer is wonderfully creative and loves analog, handmade things - embroidery, collaging, word searches, handwritten letters, stickers, washi tape, markers, and making thoughtful things for other people. She loves Anthropologie and beautiful textiles with patterns, as well as quality beauty and hair products.
She has an endearing love for animals, especially squirrels, and absolutely delights in little and miniature things. A homebody at heart, Homer loves being cozy with her husband, her two young children, and their dog, Kiko.
Family is at the center of Sylvia’s world: she loves hosting and making her home the place where everyone gathers, spending time with her children, and finding small ways to make the people she loves feel special. She is the family’s official creator of nicknames - a reflection of her clever humor and the intimate, playful way she loves people.

The Story:

Ashley
Nominated By:
Her “Adopted” Mother
The Story:
Ashley lost her dad at 13 and her mom at 17. She was being homeschooled and taking care of her mom when she passed, and then was immediately shifted next door to take care of her grandma, who had dementia. Ashley managed to go to college while taking care of her grandma and finally had to place her in a nursing home earlier this year when she got a full-time job, and Grandma's needs were just too much for her.
Grandma passed away very recently; it was expected but still gut-wrenching for Ashley. So grab your pens and surround Ashley with love, as her life will definitely be different going forward since, for the first time, she is not someone’s caretaker.
Likes:
Ashley loves cats, including Hello Kitty. She has two cats named Panda and Peanut. Her style is more bohemian – she's definitely not a business casual kind of girl. Ashley works in the social work field and is pursuing her master's. She loves to travel when she can, and like many other 23-year-olds, she loves TikTok.

Carson & Eli
Nominated By:
Their Mother
The Story:
Carson and Eli lost their father unexpectedly at the end of June. He had just started a new job out of town when he was hit by a truck during his commute.
After struggling with substance use for many years, their dad had committed to getting clean and building a better life for his sons—and he was doing it. We were so proud of him.
Losing him so suddenly has been devastating. The hardest part for the boys is feeling like their entire world has stopped, while the rest of the world keeps moving on without their dad.
Please take a moment to send your love to Carson and Eli during this time of heartache.
Likes:
Both boys share passions that keep them feeling close to their dad:
Video games: Eli (9) loves gaming, especially playing Roblox, which he and his dad enjoyed together.
Music: Carson (12) plays the piano; he and his dad used to jam together with his dad on bass.
Nature - Outside: Their father was a geologist and mapmaker. The boys loved being outside with him, going on bike rides or walks. They also loved walking to the store and buying junk food to share together. Their dad was like a big kid himself.
