A Simple Gesture, A Big Impact: Olympic Heights Lions Celebrate Kids with Birthday Cards
Ben Zapson and Julia Zapson, along with the Olympic Heights Lions Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, brought joy to children by crafting handmade birthday cards filled with thoughtful messages.
Each card was thoughtfully designed with cheerful colors, uplifting messages, and personalized touches to remind children that they are celebrated and valued on their special day. This simple yet meaningful gesture helped bring smiles and encouragement to those who might not always get the opportunity to experience a traditional birthday celebration.
Why This Matters
A birthday card may seem small, but for a child, it can be a powerful reminder that they are cared for and remembered. Receiving a handwritten note can brighten their day, boost their confidence, and give them a sense of belonging. Acts of kindness like this help foster connection, self-worth, and joy in children who need it most.
