Good Hearts and Fresh Lawns: Lawn Makeover for BBM’s Theresa!

We’re back with another feel-good story from our latest and greatest Candoo Good Projects — and this one will leave you smiling from ear to ear (and maybe a little inspired to tidy your own lawn or garden!).

As part of our ongoing BBM X Candoo Good collaboration, we had the privilege of helping another incredible member of the Buttabean Motivation (BBM) community — Theresa. She’s our second recipient under this partnership, and her story is one that truly embodies strength, hope, and community. We gave her the lawn and garden service refresh that she deserved.

And trust us… this one hit home in every way. 

A Quick Recap: Who’s BBM?

If you haven’t heard of them yet, BBM (Buttabean Motivation) is a powerhouse of positivity and change across Auckland, New Zealand. Led by the amazing Dave Letele, BBM supports people in transforming their lives – physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

They do incredible work in our community by providing free programs, food support and even life coaching. Can I join, Dave? BBM helps people take back control of their health and happiness. Their community spirit is contagious, and their results truly speak for themselves.

So when Candoo got the chance to team up with BBM to do what we do best — cleaning, lawns, and gardening services across Auckland, we jumped right in. Together, we’re showing what happens when good people and good work come together!

Meet BBM Mentor: Theresa

Now, let’s talk about Theresa. She’s a true BBM success story and one seriously inspiring woman.

In 2020, Theresa was diagnosed with C3 tetraplegia and told she had only a 60% chance of walking again. But she refused to give up. After joining BBM’s ‘From the Couch Program’ nearly two years ago, she worked her way back. Step by step, both physically and mentally.

Today, she’s not only walking, she’s now a BBM Mentor, helping others on their journey to recovery and strength. Talk about full circle! 

When we heard about Theresa’s story, we knew we wanted to help her out in a way that made a real difference at home. Our Candoo Crew rolled up their sleeves, fired up the mowers, and gave her lawn and garden, a well-deserved refresh.

From lawn mowing and edging to a full garden tidy-up, the team transformed her outdoor space into something peaceful and fresh — a place that reflects how far she’s come.

Because let’s be real: a clean, green yard just hits differently. It’s not just about looks; it’s about the comfort of coming home to something that feels good!

Candoo Good: Community in Action

This is what the Candoo Good Project is all about. We want to give back to those who give so much to others. Why? Because you can’t pour from an empty cup!

At Candoo, we’re proud to use our everyday work – lawn and gardening services, home cleaning, and yard makeovers to make a real impact across Auckland and beyond. It’s a simple act that can make a bigger difference than you think.

Theresa, we’re so proud of you and honoured to play a small part in your journey. Keep shining, keep inspiring, and keep doing good – because that’s what this whole project is about. 

Let’s all take a page from Theresa’s book. You are a real inspiration to many!
