Birthday Celebrations

Our birthday celebrations epitomize the essence of our organization, spreading seeds of kindness while acknowledging shelter residents on their special day. In conjunction with our partners, Maria’s Birthday Wishes for the Homeless delivers cupcakes to homeless shelters across the nation each month to celebrate their residents’ birthdays. This embodies our mantra of delivering: smiles, hope, acknowledgement, and self-worth.

Lessons of Kindness

Our Cupcake Fairy Volunteers read Tutti’s Adventures in Cupcake Land to children in Collier County schools, churches, and non-profits. Authored by our founder, Maria Wassef, the book encourages children to demonstrate kindness to others.

Tutti’s Adventures in Cupcake Land is available for purchase at Barnes and Noble.com,  Amazon .com, and Grace & Shelley’s Cupcakes  (51 Avenue and The Mercato) in Naples, FL. Or by calling (239) 450-4066 or E-mail us: mariawassef@gmail.com. All proceeds from book sales support our programs.
