Resilience: the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from life events! EOB is proud to be resilient. The last few years have been trying from a fire that tried to burn away hope to a pandemic that changed our operations as we knew it. But with the support of our community, we never missed a beat. We continued to provide birthday celebrations to children experiencing homelessness and give hope to families.

This has been challenging for many children, even under the best of circumstances – that is, reliable internet access, a laptop or tablet, and a quiet, comfortable space to learn within the home.

Recently, we had a royal celebration that was quite, well, extraordinary. This party's theme was not an option on the party questionnaire, but we encourage families to write in what they want if it's not already listed. Read in her own words how one of our party planners started with EOB and later conceptualized and pulled off this party fit for a queen.
