Archana Uploaded New Video On Valentine
Heart-warming gesture, a teenager in the US gifted flowers to over 800 girls in his school for Valentine’s Day after saving money by doing odd jobs.
17-year-old Hayden Godfrey’s gesture for all the girls at his school in Smithfield, Utah, resulted from years of buildup and planning. He saved for a year and a half to afford the US $450 it cost to purchase 900 carnations from an online wholesaler.Every Valentine’s Day since he was 14, Godfrey would anonymously send flowers to dozens of his friends, he said. Each year, the project grew larger in scale until he ultimately decided he wanted to make “as many people as possible” happy this Valentine’s Day.
He began earning the money by working as a cook at a nearby McDonald’s and a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant, and for the last 10 months, he has been bagging groceries at a local store. Godfrey’s mother, Erin Godfrey, said he first got the idea in middle school, when he noticed that some girls did not receive anything on the romantic holiday.
“That broke his heart on Valentine’s Day,” she told ABC News, calling her son a “sensitive soul.” “He wanted every girl to feel joy.” Godfrey ordered the flowers to his home three weeks in advance and enlisted the help of about 20 friends to help him process and cut the 24-inch stems after they arrived.
