Gratitude Practice

Let's start by taking a moment to practice gratitude.

  • Think back to when you were a child and reflect on your most memorable celebrations or birthdays.

  • What are things that make you feel special and loved on your birthday?

The Recipient

Box of Balloons is a non-profit organization on a mission to make each birthday happy and every child celebrated. Every child deserves to feel special, be celebrated and have a memorable party.  Unfortunately that is not possible or many families.  

The Reason

 22% of children in America live below the poverty level, and although we are aware and support of basic survival needs being met first we also believe that a birthday celebration can give families the hope they may be missing.

Unpack the Box

  • Take everything out of the box.
  • Lay everything out so you can find what you need to build the kit.

Create Your Kynd Code

Please follow the instructions on this card to create your own Kynd Code. This Kynd Code will be included in the final kit.

*Make note of your Kynd Code. You will use this code at the end of the project. 

Find the Kynd Card

This is for you to spread extra kyndness to someone in your own life.  Consider writing a note to a friend, loved one, or colleague that you are grateful for.  Address the note and send it in the mail or give it to someone in person.

DO NOT include this in the finished kit.
