Although losing James has definitely been the hardest thing we have ever done, when we thought of his upcoming birthday, we knew that we wanted to do something that would be honoring of James. Anyone that knew James knew that he loved EVERYONE and he loved giving. So that's what we want to do on James' birthday......give.
We decided to have a birthday party at the local children's home. We are calling it, "Happy Birthday FROM James." We have a magician that is donating a show for the kids (Ron the Magician). A cake decorator is donating a cake (For Goodness Cakes). We even have a face painter coming (Childrens Party Plus ). We're going to have cake and ice cream, lots of balloons, and a ton of fun!!!
When talking to the director at the home, she recommended that we make gift boxes for each of the cottages. There are 4 cottages that house 6 kids each. Since Christmas is just passed, she felt it would be best to give things that the groups can use together rather than individual gifts. So we are putting together birthday boxes full of videos, games, and crafts for each cottage.
We could use your help to fill these boxes. Jon has the paypal set up on James' website (www.JamesNeubauer.com) so that you can easily donate.
