Finding the perfect birthday gift for a friend can sometimes feel like a challenge. You want to give them something special, something that truly reflects your appreciation for them. While a fancy dinner or the latest gadget might come to mind, have you ever considered a gift that gives back? This year, be inspired by Ken Tada, husband of Joni Eareckson Tada, who is celebrating his birthday in a truly remarkable way.
Instead of traditional presents, Ken decided to donate his birthday to Joni and Friends, an organization dedicated to serving people living with disabilities worldwide. Inspired by Joni’s own birthday donation and his firsthand experiences with the Wheels for the World program, Ken chose to focus his special day on making a difference.
Ken’s commitment to providing pediatric wheelchairs stems from his recent Wheels for the World trip to Thailand. Witnessing the profound impact these wheelchairs have on children’s lives ignited a passion to do more. He understands deeply how much a child-sized wheelchair can mean to a young person with disabilities, offering them mobility, independence, and a chance to participate more fully in life.
His goal is to raise $2,200, enough to fund ten pediatric wheelchairs. This ambitious yet achievable target reflects Ken’s desire to make a significant contribution. Just as many generously supported Joni’s birthday donation, there’s hope and encouragement that Ken’s fundraising efforts will also be met and exceeded.
Ken Tada’s selfless act serves as a powerful reminder that the most meaningful birthday gifts are often those that extend beyond personal enjoyment and touch the lives of others. He exemplifies humility and a deep commitment to serving God by caring for those in need. Celebrating his birthday by supporting his fundraising campaign is a wonderful way to honor him and contribute to a truly impactful cause.
If you’re looking for a unique and heartfelt birthday gift idea for your friend, consider making a donation in their name to a charity they care about. Or, in this instance, you can celebrate Ken Tada’s birthday and support his mission by visiting his donation page. Leaving a birthday wish on the page is another lovely way to show your support and appreciation for Ken’s generous spirit.
By contributing to Ken’s fundraising campaign, you’re not only honoring a man of God but also directly helping children with disabilities around the world receive the gift of mobility. This birthday season, consider giving a gift that truly matters – a gift that transforms lives.
