🌿❤️‍🩹🤗 I have created a few fun designs for t-shirts, hoodies, and mugs that celebrate Asheville and WNC, as well as therapy, as a way to raise additional funds that will allow our therapists Flourish Counseling & Wellness to continue providing free and low-cost mental health support to our community members in the aftermath of hurricane Helene.

😀♥️🌎 Please check it out and feel free to share this post to spread the word! Our community needs all the help we can get right now.
