Here in Michigan there is a orphanage in Detroit that has over 100 children that it cares for. since there is such a large number they are financially unable to provide a birthday for everyone. Now other then Christmas, birthdays are my favorite! I feel it's your special day to celebrate you!! It broke my heart to think of these kids waking up on their birthday only to find it was the same as any other day. So I got the ladies in our church together and we put together birthday boxes for the kids. Now on their birthday they will have fun gift full of goodies. We're also working on putting Christmas together for this same group. I know that the Savior loves each and everyone of us and I hope that in some small way this can convey to them that they are not forgotten that they are loved!

What a great idea to help these children feel loved, not only on Christmas but through out the year on their special day! Thank you so much Leslie for taking the time to serving these sweet children and for sharing your story with us!
KEEP SERVING!!!
