About Cultivating Smiles

Cultivating Smiles is a non-profit program based in Miami, FL. Founded by Miranda Tapia, the program is dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of nursing home residents. They conduct workshops and provide thoughtful gifts to bring joy and smiles to the faces of these residents. Cultivating Smiles was born from the simple yet profound act of kindness that my mother, a beacon of warmth and generosity, demonstrated throughout my childhood. Growing up, she would quietly offer mini gifts to those less fortunate, and the joy that radiated from their smiles left an indelible mark on my heart. Inspired by my mother's selfless gestures, I founded Cultivating Smiles, a non-profit program dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of others. Through our initiatives, Our goal is to plant the seeds of hope and kindness, nurturing a community where smiles flourish, creating a ripple effect of joy and compassion. We understand that being in a nursing home can be lonely, and we aim to fill that void by being a source of joy and comfort.
