Extra-Ordinary Birthdays

Creating & Providing Birthday Parties For Homeless Children

Every child especially those living without many of the necessities we take for granted – sleeping in the same bed every night, breakfast on the table, safety in the home – deserves to know that their birthday is special. They are important. Their growth matters.
