ICU CRAFT BOX

After losing both my parents, my dad in 2019 and my mom in 2021 to COVID, I found myself in a challenging mental and physical state, nearly ​succumbing to the illness as well. I needed an outlet to cope with my depression. Although I seemed strong on the outside, inside I was ​overwhelmed by constant grief, depression, and feelings of failure. Searching for a way out, I decided to assist a friend with a gender reveal ​project. This project helped me break free from feelings of guilt. I immersed myself in YouTube tutorials and even joined a craft group. Since ​then, I have taken pride in my creations. My products vary based on customer demand, and I am pleased that I found a therapeutic way to ​address my grief and depression. I aim for my products to convey the joy and love I pour into every detail, making each item memorable.

The journey hasn't been easy, but I have discovered a resilience within myself that I didn't know existed. Crafting has become more ​than just a hobby; it has become a lifeline, a way to channel my emotions into something beautiful and tangible. Each piece I create ​carries a part of my heart, a testament to my enduring spirit and a tribute to my parents' legacy.

As my small business grows, I am continuously inspired by the stories and smiles of my customers. Their happiness fuels my passion ​and drives me to innovate and improve. I've learned that even in the darkest times, we can find light through creativity and connection. ​It has been a humbling and empowering experience to see how something as simple as a handmade product can bring so much joy to ​others.

Now, I look forward to each new project with a renewed sense of purpose. My creations are not just products; they are symbols of ​hope, resilience, and love. And as I navigate this path of healing and growth, I am reminded that it's okay to lean on others and find ​strength in community. Because in the end, it's the love and support we share that truly makes us strong.
