This week we wanted to highlight a cause close to our hearts. Clare and Paul Green, parents of Giorgia, started a mission after their beloved daughter, sadly passed away in May 2022 after accidentally breathing in too much aerosol she had sprayed in her room.
Giorgia is one of many children and teens who have died from over spraying, many of whom had an autism diagnosis and sprayed as a way to feel comfort and safety. They want to get the message out to as many young people and parents as possible, that aerosol can be deadly.
They set up 𝐁𝐞𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬 as a way to remember Giorgia, known to them as “our little bee”, and to raise awareness of the dangers of aerosol over spraying. They say Bee Angels comes from the fact that Giorgia loved bees, she found joy and wonders from even the tiniest things in life!
