Countless of flower peddlers and street vendors selling arrangements take to the streets of Chicago the week before Mother’s Day offering gifts, not just in Little Village and other predominately Latino neighborhoods on the southwest side, but throughout Chicagoland.
Vendors Minerva Garcia, left, and her daughter Tania Cuevas sell flowers on Mother’s Day, celebrated in Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala on May 10th, and for Mother’s Day in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago on May 10, 2023.
Selling flowers for Mother’s Day has helped her and her husband provide for their children because it is a “very profitable week.” So even if it means that she will not be celebrated, “we must take advantage of the opportunity,” said an emotional Garcia. Yet, they are proud of being able to work on their special day. After all, being a mother is just that: “,” said Alma Jeronimo, 49. Being a mother means sacrifice, endeavor and love for their children.
Being together on Mother’s Day, even if it means that they’ll be working for more than 12 hours, “is the biggest blessing,” said Veliz. Fowers, dolls and stuffed animals are for sale, celebrating Mother’s Day on May 10, 2023, in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago.
