How Can We Help?

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi friends! I'm Kayti - Founder, Funfetti Cake Enthusiast, and Professional Birthday Celebrator!I created this project because birthdays matter. They remind us that we are loved, seen, and that we belong - and every kid deserves that reminder.While birthdays tend to focus on the kids, I also created this project for the parents - The ones doing their best, often quietly, to make magic where they can. You deserve a moment to breathe, to feel cared for, and to know that you're not alone in wanting something special for your child.This is your reminder that asking for help doesn't make you any less strong. You have a community behind you, cheering you on - and joy is something you deserve, too.Thank you for believing in The Birthday Project ♡
