Birthday Buddies

Birthdays are a chance to feel special. For many children impacted by foster care, that moment of celebration can be uncertain. Our Birthday Buddies program can help change that.

Donate a Gift

Brighten a birthday with joy and a little extra magic.

By becoming a Birthday Buddy, you’re helping create a day full of smiles and excitement. Each gift is chosen by the child, making their birthday feel uniquely theirs—and reminding them that their big day matters. Gifts range in value from $50 to $100 depending on the child’s age.

Birthday Buddy Gifts for Jarvis

Additional information

$100.00 Gift

❤️ 20 year old

Focused, mature, and driven, Jarvis is already paving his own path — working part time at FedEx, driving his own vehicle, and working to get an intent-to-hire letter so he can pursue a career as a union laborer or plumber. When he’s not working toward his future, he loves watching sports and spending time with his younger brother. This birthday, Jarvis has simply requested a Visa or Amazon gift card — will you be his Birthday Buddy and help support his journey?

❤️ 19 year old

Keyonna is proof that hard work and determination can move mountains. Outgoing, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand, she’s packed an incredible amount of progress into just a few months since entering transitional living — earning her driver’s license, finishing her high school coursework, and taking on a part-time job. In her downtime, she loves catching up with friends over the phone or settling in for a good movie. Now she’s setting her sights on a trade certificate or associate’s degree before aging out of care — become her Birthday Buddy and help cheer her on!
