Birthday Connections

I want to thank you and Birthday Angels for the great birthday party you and Liat arranged for my 11 year old daughter Anna.

It was a great party and everybody enjoyed it. All the girls had fun and Liat was great!

She is very kind and a great makeup artist

Thank you very much again.Your help and giving are blessed.

Sorry for my English…

This note was sent to Ruthie Sobel Luttenberg, founder of Birthday Angels, one of our Israel programs that bring joy and happiness to kids whose family might not (for economic or health reasons) be able to provide them with an appropriate celebration. When we visited Israel several weeks ago we met with Ruthie and reminded her about Jeremy’s Circle, another organization we fund which was founded by Pamela Becker and her late husband Jeremy Coleman, before he succumbed (a few years ago) to cancer. Jeremy’s Circle provides support and activities for kids who have a parent or sibling with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. When Ruthie and Pamela spoke, Ruthie offered her help with providing parties for these kids and recently the first party was held. As Pamela shared with us…

The mom (of this birthday girl) has been with us since the beginning. … She notes (in the above letter) that she had just left the hospital following a course of chemo and otherwise would not have had the strength to arrange a party for her daughter. We celebrated her daughter’s last birthday at the event at the ecological farm in Modiin.

These are just the kinds of connections we love to make for all of our programs!
