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, birthdays are often painful reminders of loss. Some of our residents 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 resident

The Process
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!
The Address
Please address special cards to a resident on our monthly list, this way:
April Ziemann c/o (Insert Resident’s GENDER & DOB Based on Monthly Birthday List)
909 Greenlee Street
Denton, TX 76201
By sending a birthday card, you tell our kids you care. That message is important to their therapeutic treatment and long-term success. Thank you!
