🌎💛 World Kindness Day at Harper Fields! 💛🌎

Today, our residents came together to celebrate World Kindness Day — a day to reflect on the power of compassion, positivity, and self-love. 💫

We asked everyone to share one special word that describes how they feel about themselves and write it down on their art work canvas— and the results were truly heartwarming. From “Unique” , “Strong” and “Loved,” each word reminded us that kindness starts from within. 🌷

It was a beautiful reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness — a smile, a compliment, a shared cup of tea, a walk — can brighten someone’s day. ☕😊

💬 What’s one word that makes you feel good about yourself today? Share it in the comments — let’s keep the kindness going! 💛

I’d like to introduce you all to my beautiful mum ❤️✨💫

My mum is bravely fighting cancer for the second time after originally being diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer just over 2 years ago…

Before the diagnosis, my mum was a devoted carer at Harper Fields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare. She absolutely loved her job and loved the residents as if they were her own parents ❤️

Sadly mum had to retire from her beloved job. She was a massive part of them team and I know how much the staff and residents alike miss her terribly.

The wonderful team at Harper Fields have put together a fund raiser for my mum which is just incredible and I know how much hard work has been put into it!

Lots of people have donated raffle prizes and auction prizes and that’s what I have done too 😍

I’ve donated some beautiful beside tables which will be going through a silent auction where people can place their bids to win them (pictures in the comments)…

The lovely Sarah, who is in the comments, has said if anyone of my lovely followers would like to bid in the silent auction to contact her and she will place the bid for you ❤️

If you don’t fancy making a bid could you please share this post as it would mean the world to me 🙏🏼❤️
