This is not really healthcare specific although I believe the health of our children (mental and physical) is essential. And, I can’t tell you much about this organization, but I like the idea.
Our neighbor is having a birthday party for their twins. Rather than give them gifts, which all our kids have too many of, they are collecting candy and other things for the Birthday Foundation. I was intrigued. What does a “birthday foundation” do?
The Birthday Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based near St. Louis, Missouri. We provide birthday parties to children in our community who are homeless, disadvantaged, or facing medical crisis.
Seems like a great idea. Of course, it’s sad to think that kids don’t get to celebrate birthdays, but it’s nice to have a mechanism to help.
