Join our Birthday Club by donating $10 per month and know that a less fortunate child is celebrating their birthday with a gift from their parents because of you! All you have to do is donate now and your recurring donation will happen automatically every month.
Here’s what one parent recently told us:
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the bag of birthday gifts for my daughter who turned 9. I am overwhelmed by your generosity, and I praise God for people like you who give generously of their time and the donation. My daughter was excited to receive some new toys. For me, a Mom, I am struggling to pay bills and was unsure how to celebrate with my daughter until I was blessed with your generous gift. Thank You! My needs were met at a difficult time in my life so my daughter was not disappointed. Thank YOU! Sincerely, Deanna
