We celebrated Joshua's 21st birthday on August 3 and we're happy to spread love in his memory by helping others celebrate their birthdays this month! We put together birthday cake kits for Mary Bielecki Foundation and also shared lots of birthday baking supplies with local teens in group foster homes. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed toward this and our other to celebrate Joshua!
