Today we’re celebrating a very special member of our Growing Hands family — Braydon is FIVE! 🥳🎉💚

If you’ve been around Growing Hands, chances are you’ve seen Braydon right alongside us — helping with deliveries, events, sorting, or just keeping everyone smiling along the way. 🥹

He may only be 5, but he’s already growing up learning what it means to give back, help others, and be part of something bigger than himself.

Happy 5th Birthday, Braydon! 🎂🤚 We hope your day is filled with lots of laughs, dancing, good food, and everything you love most!

Our little helper is officially a WHOLE HAND! 💚

We love seeing the whole school rally behind their students! 💙💦

New Salem Elementary made a special announcement recognizing Cooper for stepping up and braving the dunk tank at our Stuff-A-Bus event to help raise money for sensory bins for his school. 🫶

It’s so special watching kids learn that even one brave act can make a difference for their classmates. Way to go, Cooper! 👏💙

💚 Another special school supply delivery!

Braydon helped drop off school supplies to Faith United Preschool! 🖍️📚✏️

Mrs. Rossell, one of Faith’s 4s preschool teachers, braved the dunk tank at our Stuff-A-Bus event to raise money for her school (we’ll post that video tomorrow!) — and now those donations are making their way right back into the classroom. 💦🚌💚

We love seeing our community show up for our kids in such a fun and meaningful way. Thank you, Mrs. Rossell, for being such a great sport and helping us support Faith United! 💛
