Hey hey readers 💕
If you’ve been following along, then you already know — this year is all about impact. Through Cece in the City Cares and Where It Begins, we’re committing to serving our community all year long. Because giving back isn’t seasonal… it’s a lifestyle.
With Valentine’s Day being the month of love, it felt only right to share that love with families who truly need it. We had the honor of delivering hearts and teddy bears to the beautiful families staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Atlanta.
For a little history — Ronald McDonald Houses were created to give families a place to stay while their children receive medical care. Instead of worrying about where to sleep or how to afford lodging, parents can focus on what matters most: being present for their child. That mission alone is powerful. It’s love in action.
So when we delivered our Valentine hearts and bears, we made sure each one carried more than just fluff and fabric. 💕 We added positive stickers and uplifting messages — little reminders that even on hard days, there is still hope, strength, and joy waiting to bloom.
Just imagine waking up in an unfamiliar place, walking past a heart that says “You are stronger than you think” or “Today is filled with love.” Sometimes the smallest gestures create the biggest smiles.
We were so grateful to be able to pour into those families — to plant seeds of encouragement and brighten their day, even in a small way. Because that’s what Cece in the City Cares is about. Intentional kindness. Purposeful love. Community connection.
This is only the beginning. More campaigns. More giving. More heart.
Where it begins… is with love 💗
