Not every child has a home, but every child has a birthday…
As much as homeless parents would love to shower their kids with birthday presents, the joy of celebrating a child's special day is often nonexistent. Many homeless kids don't know what it's like to blow out out a candle or unwrap a present — and most homeless parents don't have the energy, finances or resources to provide their children with birthday celebrations.
Enter Paige Chenault, a former wedding planner. When Paige got pregnant with her first child, she dreamt of all the incredible parties she could plan for her daughter. One day, while scouring through magazines for party-planning inspiration, she began reading about poor children. These kids didn't how it felt to have a special day set aside just for them — a day of music, games, cake and gifts. Even while pregnant, Paige decided to do everything she could to celebrate these children in their time of chaos and confusion.
Paige not only began researching and volunteering with the homeless community, but she also came up with a brilliant idea: to plan birthday parties for homeless kids in Texas.
Watch this video to see how Paige turned her dream — and the dream of so many parents in need — into a beautiful reality.
