Birthdays are a big deal to me. I think they should always be celebrated, no matter what age you are. So when I came across the BirthdayWishes organization I was immediately drawn to it. This group throws birthday parties for kids in homeless shelters. It can't cost very much - less than many of us spend on dinner out or throw pillows. But a simple gesture like this can bring so much joy and many happy memories to a child that may not have much else to be happy about.
I plan to organize a goody bag stuffing party and hope to volunteer at a party soon. If you have some time and a few spare dollars consider donating something as simple as the cake mix, or a few party supplies. It's a small gesture that can mean everything to a child.
