Birthdays are a time to celebrate and reflect on the year gone by. But for many foster youth, birthdays can also be a reminder of a difficult past and an uncertain future. That's why our Monthly Birthday Gifts program is so important. Each month, we hand-deliver a thoughtful gift to every foster youth celebrating a birthday, reminding them that they are valued, loved, and not forgotten. Whether it's a small token of appreciation or a much-needed boost of self-esteem, our birthday gifts bring a smile to the faces of some of the most deserving young people in our community. Find a child who shares your birthday ensuring that every child in foster care can feel seen and appreciated on their birthday.
At Take Up Your Cross, Inc, we believe that every foster youth deserves a bright future. If you're passionate about supporting young people as they transition out of the foster care system, we want to hear from you!
