The donations for Landon are pouring in second by second. 💜

I find it important to share the full transparency that I provide every family that we help.

At the end of each fundraiser I am able to provide the family a complete list of people who donated and the amounts. I guess it’s also important to note that if you want your donation anonymous, please note that too 💜

This OL community is truly so amazing!!💜💜

A very beloved- long time teacher of Fishhawk Creek, Renee Nazario-Flores really needs our community to rally behind her and her son Landon.

On Saturday, February 21st, her 14 year old son Landon suffered a massive brain bleed. Doctors are still trying to figure out the exact cause but this event has caused a tremendous amount of damage. He is currently recovering from a removal of the left side of his skull which relieved pressure on the brain. He currently can not speak, nor can he move his right side. Doctors aren't sure when/if these will return.

Mom, a 1st grade teacher at Fishhawk Elementary, is not expected to work again this school year. She won't leave the hospital until he leaves the hospital. Dad is also on leave from his job as well.

Operation Lotus is spearheading a fundraiser to help with all medical costs as well as loss wages. More than monetary, the family is also asking for your thoughts, prayers and good vibes.

If you would like to donate Venmo is best. Please tag donation Landon (it doesn’t say Operation Lotus bc we were copied and had fraud under OL- I will post my Venmo in the comments). 💯 of all donations will go to the family.

PLEASE use last 4 digits 8195

I do have Cash App and Zelle Available. As well as mailing a check, message me for those details.

👟 SHOE DRIVE – Let’s Fill Those Tubs! 👟

Friends, we are in the middle of our Wings of Hope Shoe Drive for Pinecrest Elementary, and we still need your help!

The Guidance Department keeps shoes on hand for students who need them — and they are running low in these sizes:

✨ Little Kid: 11, 12, 13
✨ Big Kid: 1
✨ Adult: 6, 7, 8

We are collecting new and gently worn shoes through March 6.

If you’ve been meaning to donate, this is your nudge. 💛

Ways to give:
✔ Drop off on my front porch (PM for address)
✔ Ship directly to my home (PM for address)
✔ Need pickup? I’m doing porch pickup the morning of March 4 — send me your address!

A pair of shoes may seem small… but for a child, it can mean confidence, comfort, and dignity at school.

Thank you for always showing up for Pinecrest. Let’s finish strong. 👟✨

On December 8th, Roy Stanley lost his year-long battle with stage 4 cancer. He was just 50 years old—a proud father, a devoted husband, and the sole earner for his household.

Roy leaves behind his wife, Ashley, his son Alex (age 8), and his daughters: Tanya (age 24), Carmen (age 18), Briana (age 16), Aracelli (age 12), and Celeste (age 4).

Your support will help:
• Cover essential living expenses during this transition

• Support the children’s needs as they process their loss

100% of all donations will be given to Ashley. Donations can be sent through Venmo (see account in comments). Zelle (please message us) or check (please message us for address)

2025! I close it with a grateful heart for each of you who have followed our story all of these years. For those of you who have called us friends, who have supported our efforts, donated, shared a post, volunteered, sent a message - I thank YOU!!!

I started Operation Lotus to bring hope. So people going through grief and trauma didn’t feel alone. I did it for this man I love so much- to make aire his life Is always remembered and his death have purpose- to create a legacy. I did it for our family today- our boys to walk through life giving to others and giving purpose to our tragedy.

We close out 2025 being able to give:

$9,330 to local families going through something traumatic.

Haircuts to students at Pinecrest Elementary for the start of school.

Balloon arches to Pinecrest for their open house

House cleanings

Yards mowed

Welcome Home Yard Signs

Halloween Boo Baskets for 14 foster children

Christmas to 20 foster children, a pizza party and a year of adventures.

NONE of this would be possible without each of you.

Appreciation doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel for this OL community

I love you all. Deeply ,
Melanie Brockmeier Jordy
