Birthday Boxes for Kids in Foster Care
📍 Denver, CO

Every child deserves to feel special on their birthday. But for many kids in the foster care system, birthdays come and go without acknowledgment — no cake, no gifts, no celebration.
I started making birthday boxes in my living room two years ago after learning this heartbreaking fact. Each box contains a wrapped age-appropriate gift, birthday cake mix and frosting, a handwritten card, birthday decorations, and a small stuffed animal for younger kids.
Last year we sent 180 boxes. This year, I want to reach 500 kids. Your donation helps make that happen. A $25 donation covers one complete birthday box.
Thank you for helping a child feel seen, loved, and celebrated on their special day. 💚
