Turning 60: A Milestone of Gratitude, A Lifeline for Children
Sixty years of life is a beautiful milestone, filled with memories, blessings, and love. But as I celebrate my “Sweet Sixty,” my heart is heavy with the knowledge that millions of children are struggling just to survive. True sweetness comes from sharing our blessings with those who need them most.
That is why, for my 60th birthday, I am asking for something far more meaningful than gifts. I am launching this fundraising campaign for CRY America, an organization dedicated to ensuring happier childhoods for underprivileged children.
Right now, countless children are deprived of their basic rights—trapped in cycles of poverty, denied an education, facing severe malnutrition, and forced into early labor. They are fighting for survival, and they cannot do it alone. They need us.
Please help me make my 60th year truly matter. Instead of buying a gift or raising a glass, I implore you to raise your hand for these children. Your donation is not just a birthday contribution; it is a lifeline. It means a child can go to school, receive vital nutrition, and grow up safe from harm.
Let’s come together to make this world a little sweeter, a little kinder, and infinitely brighter for children who are desperately waiting for hope. Every dollar counts. Please donate today.

Today, 1 out of 10 children are at risk of growing up alone. Without the protection and provision of a parent or guardian, these children are vulnerable to malnourishment, disease, violence, exploitation and abuse.

That’s why, in lieu of birthday gifts, Neel has set a goal to raise $250 for Child Rights & You.

Please join us in changing the life of a vulnerable child. Each donation to this fundraiser helps ensure that every child, no matter his or her start in life, grows up with love, respect and opportunity.

I’m blessed to have people like you in my life who want to celebrate my birthday with me. But since I love making friends, I’d also like to share this special day with many more kids.

Please feel free to mark the occasion by supporting CRY, where many kids can be cared for just like I am.

For my 50th birthday, the biggest gift is having you celebrate with me—no presents needed! But if you’re itching to do something special, feel free to donate to Child Rights and You (CRY) instead. 

Your smallest contribution makes a big difference to children’s lives.This organization helps kids go back to school, help with their nutrition and stops child labor in rural india. We count on the generosity of people like you to be able to create real change for India’s children!

Taran is raising funds for CRY (Child Rights and You), an NGO that works for the betterment of underprivileged children in India. As he turns one, Taran wishes to raise a thousand hopes for these children so they get nutrition, sanitation and education. Thank you for making it this far & we sincerely appreciate your contributions!

This year, we’re kindly requesting no boxed gifts. Instead, we would be delighted if you could support our cause to aid underprivileged kids to attain the same fundamental rights as our kids.

Child Rights and You (CRY) is an NGO that secures children’s rights.

We invite you to contribute to Krisha’s mission by helping her achieve the $250 target. This amount will go a long way in providing underprivileged children with essential education, healthcare, and safety for their healthy and robust development. Your support can make a significant difference in their lives.

No gifts for Birthday please. If you can (only if you can), please donate whatever small amount you can contribute to CRY,

On the occasion of Rayna’s 6th b’day please consider donating to CRY – Child Rights and You who is committed to bring about positive changes in children’s lives

Hello friends,

I’m ringing in nearly a half-century (!) on February 13, and Child Rights and You (CRY) America has been a major part of my life for the past 18 years. I’ve also recently started as an employee of the organization, and I am thrilled with the opportunity to work toward CRY America’s goal of restoring basic rights to children in India and the U.S.

All children have a right to education. And CRY America’s experience has shown that connecting children to viable primary and secondary schooling plays a major role in preventing child marriage and child labor – both serious issues that continue to afflict marginalized communities throughout India.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have met children who have benefited from CRY America’s support on the educational front. That particular project’s work to ensure that schools are open, and that parents realize the importance of enrolling their children, produced a dramatic change. These boys and girls spoke of their future plans with confidence, optimism and through enthusiastic smiles. Their accomplishments – in the face of dire alternatives – continue to inspire me to this day.

With your donation to CRY America, I hope you’ll join me in celebrating not just my birthday, but more importantly, their bright futures and those of children yet to be reached.

In solidarity,

Adam MacGregor
