For John and Amy, birthdays have always been a big deal—a welcome excuse to celebrate life. When their son, Alex,       three in 2005, they invited 20 friends to a nearby park. Not long after that the     were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to    1  . “We wanted to do something that would have a(n)      on our community（社区）, and that our young child could       in. We started wondering what      fortunate kids do on their birthdays. The next day, we called a local shelter, and learnt that    children typically didn’t do        to celebrate at all. No cake. No gifts. No party.” The couple said.

Several weeks later,       threw a party at the       for the children who had birthdays that month. They decorated, served cake, and danced with 50 kids. Alex helped      presents.

22  that first party, the couple have turned their simple idea       Birthday Blessings, a non-profit that hosts monthly parties at 10 shelters.

To date, Birthday Blessings (birthdayblessings.org.) has thrown more than 500      at different shelters and handed out 22,000 party      to nearly 4,000 homeless children in and around their community.

Birthday Blessings is      entirely by volunteers. The charity（慈善）will take almost anything — toys, clothing, candy, baby items—       it’s not used. “These kids never get anything new.” John said, “It makes a big       to them psychologically.”

Being “part of this labor love” is       making an impression on their son Alex. On his seventh birthday, his grandparents sent a check.      it, the first thing he said was that he wanted to give half to the birthday kids.
