A Very Merry Birthday

It’s my birthday! Amy, my fiancée, has a great day planned for me, and my parents are coming into town tomorrow. Next weekend we’re having a party. Even if it means that I’m creeping towards 30, I’m glad that I have family and friends who are excited to help me celebrate. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids out there who can’t get excited about their birthdays because of their family situations. I think that every kid should be able to get excited about his or her birthday. Luckily, there are a multitude of non-profits that provide birthday parties, gifts, and cakes for underprivileged kids. How cool is that? A Very Merry Birthday is one of these organizations, and it’s based in New Haven, CT. There are tons of others across the country. I couldn’t find any with current job or internship postings, but quite a few of them have had past interns at the very least. Since there are so many of these organizations, I’m going to recommend that you find one near you and reach out to them about opportunities while I go enjoy being 28.
