About my story

I’m Helen, a mother of three wonderful kids.

My life used to be picture-perfect until my husband started drinking heavily. It all began about two years ago when my oldest was seven and my youngest son was just three. The drinking led to violent outbursts, and our home, once filled with love and laughter, became a place of fear and pain.

I had no job and no means to support myself and my children, so I stayed, hoping things would get better. But this May, after another drunken rage, he not only hit me but also hurt my eldest daughter. That was the breaking point. I couldn’t bear the thought of my kids being in danger, so I made the hardest decision of my life—I filed for divorce, knowing it meant losing our source of livelihood.

After the divorce, I moved in with my sister, who has been my rock through all of this. She introduced me to one of her friends who owns a large nursery. Knowing my love for flowers, especially lotus, which I adore for its resilience and adaptability, she thought it would be a good fit for me. I started working there, nurturing seeds, and found a sense of peace and purpose in growing lotus flowers.

This year, I’ve cultivated a batch of lotus seeds that I’m incredibly proud of. They’re the best I’ve ever grown, with a higher germination rate than any previous batch. I asked if I could sell these seeds independently through the nursery’s online store. The profits will help me rent a place for my kids and me and repay my sister, who has supported us so much.

I’m sharing this story with you for two reasons.

First, to encourage anyone in a similar situation to be brave. If you find yourself trapped in an abusive relationship, know that you’re not alone. It took me years to find the courage to leave, and it wasn’t easy. But the safety and well-being of my children and myself were worth every struggle. If you need help or someone to talk to, please reach out to me. Don’t endure abuse in silence; there is hope and support out there, and together, we can find a way out.

(Events I have attended in the past)

Second, I want to share my love for gardening with you. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or someone looking to try their hand at it for the first time, my lotus seeds are a perfect choice. These seeds are incredibly easy to grow, making them ideal for beginners. The lotus, particularly the bowl lotus variety, is known for its hardiness and adaptability. It requires minimal care, needing just a sunny spot and a container with water. You don't need a large garden or special equipment to grow these beautiful flowers—any large bowl or small pond will do.

Your purchase will not only add a touch of nature’s beauty to your home but also support me and my children as we rebuild our lives. Thank you for considering my lotus seeds and for being a part of our journey toward a brighter future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your support.

Warm regards,

Helen
