Cumberland’s Birthday Card Program

 The Need

When you’ve experienced trauma, abuse, or hardship, birthdays aren’t always the celebrations they should be.

For some residents & clients, birthdays are often painful reminders of loss. Some may never have received a birthday card. Birthdays might also be hard because they come with societal expectations that can be hard to live up to, especially when your life is in crisis or transition.

“The dream would be for every kid in foster care or who has a hard time to know they are loved.”

— A Cumberland Client

Send a birthday card to a child on our monthly list, or send a generic card any time

The Restrictions

We understand the desire to put items in the birthday cards you send. However, we cannot accept cash, stickers, or any other items placed in individual cards.

A gift, in any amount, to our Annual Fund would help us ensure every child receives the hope and healing they deserve, on their birthday and always. Give today!

Due to the overwhelming success of our Birthday Card Program, we are only sending individual card acknowledgements by request.

The Address

Please address special cards to a resident on our monthly list, this way:

 By sending a birthday card, you tell our residents & clients you care. That message is important to their therapeutic treatment and long-term success. Thank you!
