Dream birthday party project

birthday party for a child that never had a party

Program Overview

 Dream Party organizes and funds birthday parties for children who have never experienced the joy of celebrating their birthdays due to homelessness, foster care placement, or economic hardship. These celebrations provide a sense of normalcy, self-worth, and community connection to children facing challenging circumstances. We aim to bring joy, hope, and a sense of belonging to children living in shelters or foster care by hosting personalized birthday celebrations. We believe that every child deserves to feel loved, valued, and celebrated on their special day.


Key Features:

  1. Personalized Birthday Parties:
    Each party is tailored to the child’s preferences, featuring themes, decorations, and activities they love.
  2. Community Engagement: Volunteers, donors, and local businesses partner to make each celebration special. Sponsors and contributors provide cakes, gifts, and decorations.
  3. Empowerment Activities:  Parties include empowering elements like sharing affirmations, recognizing the child's strengths, and creating memories that foster self-esteem.
  4. Sibling Inclusion:  Celebrations also include siblings, ensuring family participation and minimizing feelings of exclusion.


Birthday party for foster children

Why it Matters....

Imagine growing up and never having a birthday party. For thousands of children in foster care or shelters, this is their reality. Together, we can change that.

At EmpowHER Enterprises Inc, we believe that every child deserves to feel special, loved, and celebrated on their birthday. For children in foster care or shelters, birthdays are often just another day—overshadowed by uncertainty, loss, and hardship. Our mission is to give these children a day they’ll never forget by hosting personalized birthday parties that create joy, lasting memories, and a sense of belonging.


  • The Reality of Foster Care:
    Over 391,000 children are in foster care in the United States, with many experiencing neglect or a lack of emotional support. Research shows these children often face feelings of rejection and low self-worth. (Source: Children’s Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)
  • Homelessness and Childhood Development:
    Approximately 2.5 million children in the U.S. experience homelessness annually. For these children, special occasions like birthdays are often overlooked due to financial constraints. (Source: National Center on Family Homelessness)
  • Psychological Benefits of Celebration:
    Studies reveal that celebrating milestones like birthdays positively impacts a child’s emotional development, self-esteem, and ability to form healthy relationships. (Source: Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2021)
