For my project, I cut zinnias from my garden and arranged them in a glass jar. Then, I tied a pretty ribbon around it. I delivered it to Mary Jo, a Williamson resident who has a cerebral palsy. She has pushed herself throughout her life to find a way to live her best life. She has been struggling more recently and has had a lot of medical issues. She appreciated the positive attention and beauty.
