For most girls, Valentine’s Day is one of those “love it” or “hate it” kind of holidays—and that opinion largely rests on whether or not you have someone to share it with.
Watching your friends get showered with flowers, chocolates and teddy bears while you pound your own Papa Murphy’s Heartbaker pizza on your couch doesn’t exactly feel like love at 425 degrees.
That’s why a young man named Hayden Godfrey decided he wanted to make every girl feel special on Valentine’s Day.
The 17-year-old high school senior saved up for a year and a half in order to buy over 800 carnations from a wholesale distributor to give to all the girls in his school.
Hayden’s mom said the idea sparked for her son back in middle school when he saw girls not receiving anything on that special day, adding that it was heartbreaking for his “sensitive soul.”
“That broke his heart on Valentine’s Day,” she told ABC News. “He wanted every girl to feel joy.”
Ever since he was 14, Hayden would secretly send flowers to dozens of his friends. He’s been scaling up each year, but he really wanted to outdo himself this time.
So last year, Hayden diligently set out on his mission to make every girl feel treasured by working not one, or two, but three JOBS.
