5-Year-Old Makes Birthday Days For Kids In His Community

One young man goes to great lengths to ensure people he doesn’t know have a happy birthday.

For adults, birthdays are not all that exciting or even welcome. It’s simply another reminder that, yes, we are getting older. But when it comes to children and birthdays, they have a decidedly different idea of the annual celebration. Most young children eagerly look forward to the day marking their entry into the world. 

One young man, 5-year-old Lukas from Wisconsin, knows children enjoy birthdays. That’s why he puts in the effort to make their big day special, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Lukas creates birthday cards for every child in his Wisconsin town. As the video mentions, the card-creating action originally started out as a community service project. However, Lukas has continued making birthday cards. 

Sam Smith, Lukas's mother, states that her son wanted to keep doing the activity. 

“And we got our hours in that we needed, and he just wanted to keep doing it,” Sam said. “It was like happy mom heart. I was so excited that he was like so loving and wanted to give back.”

Birthday card creation has since morphed into a hobby for young Lukas. It's a hobby that has helped to brighten the day of one little boy.  

Megan Novak asked for a Lukas-made birthday card for her son Eddie. She is moved by the 5-year-old’s mission to bring happiness to others. 

“It just shows that he wants to spread happiness,” Megan said. “And just share some joy with the other kids.” 

While Lukas may only be five years old, he is showing the recipients of the cards in his Wisconsin town, and everyone else, that spreading kindness and happiness is as simple as putting a few stickers on a piece of construction paper. 

Good job, young man! 

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
