FREE LAUNDRY!!! GARY INDIANA!!

So last night, I called my girlfriend just to check on her. Just a regular, “Hey sis, how are you doing?” kind of call.

And during our conversation, she told me about what Triumphant Transitions has been doing in Gary after the storms—providing FREE laundry services for families in the community.

And immediately I said, “Send me the flyer.”

Because if you know me, you know Gary, Indiana is home. That’s where I’m from.

And through Find One Reason To Smile, I’ve always believed that when you have an opportunity to help somebody, you do it.

Sometimes helping somebody isn’t this huge, elaborate gesture.

Sometimes it’s simply making sure a mother can wash her children’s clothes.

Sometimes it’s making sure somebody has clean clothes to put on tomorrow.

Sometimes it’s meeting people exactly where they are and helping with what they need right now.

So I’m extremely proud that Find One Reason To Smile is able to support my sis and Triumphant Transitions with their Free Laundry Storm Relief Initiative.

They’ve already helped clean over 2,500 pounds of laundry, and they’re doing it AGAIN Friday, August 28th, at Premier Laundromat in Gary.

And this is why I always say…

Find one reason to smile.

Because sometimes you’re looking for your reason to smile…

and sometimes God gives you the opportunity to BE somebody else’s reason. ❤️

This Father’s Day weekend, Find One Reason To Smile had the privilege of sponsoring and participating in a very special Day with Dads at the Sanders Estes Unit in Venus, Texas.

For a few precious hours, fathers who are currently incarcerated were able to share laughter, conversations, hugs, and memories with their daughters. Watching those moments unfold was a powerful reminder that connection, love, and hope can exist even in the most difficult circumstances.

At Find One Reason To Smile, we believe healing happens through human connection. Thank you Keeping Families Connected for allowing us to partner with you.
While circumstances may separate families physically, the bond between a parent and child remains important and worth nurturing.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible, including the volunteers, prison staff, chaplain, community partners, and the families who entrusted us with such meaningful moments.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can give isn’t a thing at all—it’s an opportunity for someone to feel seen, loved, and remembered.

This Father’s Day, we were honored to be part of creating smiles, restoring hope, and strengthening families.

To all the bald, beautiful women who came out to take part in the fashion show, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve had the privilege of producing several shows with women from all walks of life, but this one truly meant the most to me. You walked with power, boldness, and confidence, showing every woman in the room what it looks like to stand tall and embrace one’s unique beauty. By the end, anyone who came in without that same posture left wanting to be like you. You ladies rock!

And to my incredible traveling models, WOW! “Thank you” simply isn’t enough. Your commitment and passion made this experience unforgettable.

Team glam squad activated!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

“I sincerely want to thank you ladies for your amazing generosity of your time and talents, because of it, my friend was blessed to have a wonderful 1st professional photo shoot with & pre 50th birthday celebration right here in Dallas Texas.

To take the vision that was given to me for someone else and you’ll assisted in executing effortlessly.
So I cannot thank you enough for saying YES..
I feel that thank you isn’t really enough to express how grateful and overjoyed you’ve made us.

Here we push to make sure that each and every individual that we touch feels special and knows no matter the storm they may be facing there is always a reason to smile.
thank you for trusting me with your image and I can’t wait until the rest of the world sees you how I see you and the PEACE that God has gifted you.

God created you for the purpose of His Kingdom going forward.
He has enabled you to reach people that no one else can, and it is the giftings He has given to you that accomplishes it. Romans 12:6 says, “having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.”
