She founded Birthday Angels in 2014.  <\/p>\n<p>Originally from Bradford, Taylor started the organization in Toronto throwing parties at the North York Women\u2019s Shelter.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Taylor\u2019s childhood friend, Debbie Panza, noticed the charity on her friend\u2019s Facebook page. Debbie told Debora she would like start a York Region branch of the charity and Birthday Angels partnered with the Leeder Place Family Shelter in East Gwillimbury.<\/p>\n<p>The group throws one birthday party each month at their shelters, inviting all shelter residents. Each month, there is a themed birthday party with decorations, crafts and activities, cupcakes, snacks, party favours and a birthday cake. A special birthday gift is also given to each child celebrating a birthday that month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren and families staying in homeless shelters face a sad reality,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cCelebrating a birthday is such a simple childhood joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Getting involved with Birthday Angels was Panza\u2019s way of giving back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have two kids of my own and they have too much stuff. To actually give things to these kids who have nothing feels good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The party themes vary throughout the year. The charity has done everything from a beach party theme to a Frozen theme. It\u2019s the thought that counts. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t cost a lot of money to throw a birthday party,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>The party also has a way of bringing people together at the shelter in a celebration.  There\u2019s a lot of joy and love in the room, Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>Birthday Angels runs entirely on donations from the community. You can donate money through its website.<\/p>\n<p>Birthday Angels is always in need of party supplies, new toys, new clothing and gift cards.<\/p>\n<p>Every month, Birthday Angels needs volunteers to shop for gifts and supplies, bake cupcakes and wrap gifts.   <\/p>\n<p>They even recommend people donate their birthday gifts to the cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the full article at yorkregion.com.
