Probably one of the most exciting parts of having a
birthday party is getting to open presents all for yourself. However, at his 11th
birthday party, Jack Paras decided to share this joyous moment with the needy
children served in the Children’s Birthday Project. Instead of asking for
gifts, Jack asked for donations of toys and games for his birthday. Jack had
his entire hockey team and other friends at his party, which amounted to around
15 guests, all of whom brought a donation to the party. In the end, the
donation amounted to two very large boxes of board games and Legos, which were
then brought to HSP for our Children’s Birthday Project.

We at HSP would like to thank Jack and all of his
birthday party guests for helping make this donation possible. The needy children
in the Children’s Birthday Project will receive these games and toys on their birthday.
Games and toys such as the ones that Jack donated are always greatly needed for
the children we serve and are especially in demand for the older children in
our program. In addition to items such as board games and toys, children served
in the Children’s Birthday Project also receive new books, school supplies,
stuffed animals, and several smaller toys and gifts as well as items needed to
throw a birthday party such as cake mix and frosting, party hats, streamers,
plates and napkins and party favors in their birthday box, which is about 20
pounds. If you would like to donate items for the Children’s Birthday Project
or get involved in any other way, please contact us at (630) 221-8340 or email
us at HSP@humanitarianservice.org.
