Helping Out Made Easy

Why aren’t people doing their part in reaching out to the needy?
(common aswers)
- I’m too busy
- I’m not rich or I don’t have cash to spare
- I don’t know where to start
- I don’t know how I can help


* “I’m too busy”
- Let EIYBF do the leg work for you. Should you want to do a party or even just gather donations for the needy, EIYBF will be there for you all throughout.

* “I’m not rich or I don’t have cash to spare”
- When you throw a party or even just a get together with friends, drinking, partying, etc. How much do you spend????
EIYBF can help you manage your budget and we’ll make sure the orphans, street kids, special kids or the elderly will greatly benefit. You don’t need to shell out millions. With a small budget, you can sponsor a meal for an orphanage, an outing for the elderly, medicine for the sick. We’ll show you how.

* “I don’t know where to start”
- If you want to celebrate with the less fortunate here are the things to consider
1. When do you want to hold it?
2. Do you want to celebrate it in the orphanage / home for the elderly / sick kids hospital?
3. How much is your budget?
4. How much time can you spare?
5. How many of your friends or relatives will attend?
6. Can we ask them to bring donations?
We’ll take care of the rest!!!!!!!!!!!

* “I don’t know how I can help”
- It’s not about the money that you shell out, it’s about the time that you give. It’s about the effort that you make. It’s about compassion.
You help by spending your special occasion with the less fortunate. By sharing, you show the kids or the elderly that you care. You make them feel loved. For the kids who feel abandoned and forgotten, your compassion will make them better members of society, they stay away from drugs, they stay in school, they stay away from trouble. For the sick, you give them hope and give them strength.
Next birthday, next wedding anniversary, next monthsary, next Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, Valentine’s, baptism, etc., celebrate with EIYBF and make your celebration truly meaningful!

PS.

EIYBF is currently finding donors for Jesus Loves the Little Children to build a structure which will house their rescued children and serve as their school. JLLC is the only orphanage in Pasig City and they’re not even getting much support from the local government.

We are also hoping to find donors to fix the bathrooms in Damas de Filipinas, also to fix the kids rooms / wards.

We are currently finding kind hearted individuals and corporations who would like to help us build the burnt down boys ward of the House of Refuge orphanage. They lost all their belongings last Christmas but luckily no one got hurt. We need to build the area for the boys because right now, they are all cramped up in what used to be the office.

Anyone want to sponsor some orphans to school???? We’re also looking for school supplies, books, bags, shoes etc., new or used.

Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation Profile

Can you imagine how life would be like if everyday was your birthday? Everyone around you will always be cheerful, loving, and attentive to all your needs. Everyone would treat you in an extra special way. Wouldn’t that be great? I’m sure all of us would want that!

Unfortunately, some people, especially children don’t have that kind of privilege. Not everyday, not even one day in the year.

That is why Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation was created. To make the unfortunate ones feel the love and support they need, and make them feel that everyday IS their birthday!

For over seven years now, Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation has been encouraging people to share their blessings with the less fortunate. Hundreds of individuals have done just that for orphans, street kids, children with illnesses, and even the forgotten elderly through EIYBF by celebrating their birthdays (and other occasions) with them.

EIYBF was born last September 5, 2000, during the birthday celebration of founder, Patricia “Shaan” Bermudez at Damas de Filipinas Orphanage, in Paco Manila. Since then, scores of individuals, young and old, have been following her example and have celebrated their birth anniversaries with EIYBF.

EIYBF gathers donations (cash donations, old and new toys, books, clothes, etc.) to give to the less fortunate from the celebrant, the celebrant’s family and friends, and from companies and corporations.

But more than just the gifts and donations, the celebration is also about building a “relationship” between the children and the volunteers who instantly become big brothers and big sisters. For the elderly, the volunteers become part of the family.

EIYBF has planned, organized, even marketed hundreds of birthday celebrations wherein the celebrant and his / her family and friends share the most special gift of all. Love.

The benefits of celebrating birthdays through EIYBF are endless. We know that EIYBF is valuable because it teaches people to reach out. It shows people the realities of the less privileged sector. And it encourages volunteerism, especially to the younger generation.

Our mission is to inspire more people to reach out. Our goal is to be part of e every Filipino’s birthday tradition. Our dream is to make the “forgotten” ones feel like everyday IS their birthday!
