This is the first time I have ever gotten to see a child receive one of my bags. All I can say is that his smile makes my heart extremely happy :)

“Wow, you must really love cake!” -As said by the woman next to me in Walmart haha.

I just want to give a special thanks to the Southeast entrepreneurship fair! Your investment has helped immensely with getting all the items needed for my birthday bags!! I am so excited to be putting the bags together soon (Around 180 will be handed out, which almost doubles the amount of bags I handed out last year!)
