Betty：

Today I'm celebrating my 31st birthday with family and friends.I look back over the last year with deep gratitude, and I look forward to another year working to make our city better for families in every neighborhood.

For the last few years on my birthday, I have asked many of you to consider supporting one of my favorite organizations--Birthday Wishes--and this year, I'd like to keep the tradition. Birthday Wishes mobilizes grassroots volunteers to host birthday parties for homeless families in shelters, motels, and transitional housing. In 2015, they helped over 32,000 homeless children celebrate birthdays in shelters and agencies, and their goal is to reach 34,000 children in 2016.

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my son Blaise's first birthday. He's too young to understand all that was happening, but his little face glowed from all the love and special attention. Every child deserves to feel special and loved. I hope you'll support an organization that helps Boston children in need feel celebrated, too.

Thousands of children in our city's shelters don't get to celebrate because the cost of cake, balloons, and presents. On my birthday, I am asking that you consider helping a kid in need feel special on theirs. If you agree that every child deserves to be celebrated and feel special on their birthday, please consider making a donation to Birthday Wishes.

Thank you for your support, and for the many ways you help make Boston a better place.

Michelle

吳弭的生日祝福

貝蒂：
今天，我與家人和朋友慶祝我的31歲生日。我回首過去的一年，深深的感謝，我期待著又一年的工作，使我們的城市，每一個社區的家庭更美好。
在過去的幾年裡在我生日那天，我問了很多，你要考慮支持我成為最喜歡的組織之一，「生日祝福」； 今年我想保持傳統，「生日祝福」動員為「基層志願者」舉辦的生日派對 - 無家可歸的家庭、在收容所、汽車旅館和過渡性住房的一群。

在2015年，幫助超過32,000個無家可歸的孩子慶祝在收容所和機構的生日，在2016年的目標是要達到34000兒童；幾個星期前，我們慶祝我的兒子布萊斯的第一個生日，他太年輕，無法明白這一切是怎麼回事，但是從所有的愛和特別注意他的小臉上閃著，每個孩子都值得感到特別的喜愛，我希望你能支持一個組織，幫助波士頓兒童慶生。
成千上萬在庇護所的孩子沒有得到，一個有蛋糕，氣球和禮物的慶祝。在我生日那天，我問你考慮幫助有需要的孩子感到特別對他們的。如果您同意，每個孩子都值得慶祝，感覺特別在他們的生日，請考慮捐贈生日祝福。
