Birthdays are always a special occasion for
children, especially when it is the day that marks the first of their teenage
years. For Emily Friedman, turning thirteen not only marked her first sign as a
teen but also her celebration of becoming a woman, her bat mitzvah. With this monumental
stepping stone in her life, Emily wanted to give back to her community during
her first days as a young adult. Emily decided that instead of receiving gifts,
she will help raise money to purchase books for the children of HSP. With the
help of her two younger sisters, Emily was able to host a bake sale to all of
her friends and family to raise the money.

Emily was kind enough to purchase two boxes of books
from the Scholastic Warehouse and donate them to our Children Birthday Project.
This marks one of the lovely representations of what the people in Dupage and
Kane counties do for our organization. If you would like more information of
