When Flossie heard Melissa‘s vision for Athletes for Good, she was immediately impressed, however, the toy drive was of special interest to her. Not only was it the holiday that began Flossie’s giving spirit, but it was also one for which she experienced much disparity. Whether it was from nearly being homeless as a teenager or the difficulty of losing everything in 2010, while putting herself through school as a single mother, Flossie learned how heartbreaking it is to not be able to give the ones you love a single gift. Those life events shaped Flossie into who she is today: a philanthropist.
Flossie still works in the medical field and is also an international mindset coach. Flossie plans to continue a life of helping others, standing by her philosophy: “if everyone did a little bit of what they *could* do, this world would be a much better place.”
