Why Friends 4 Kindness began…
AMI Documentary: The Unbirthday Party
S8 E1 - August 30, 2022
In 2022, AMI Productions came to us with an idea. They wanted to feature Friends 4 Kindness in their documentary series that takes a closer look at unique stories that are relevant to Canadians of all abilities.
Discover the heartwarming journey of Kaitlin, a high school student whose 18th birthday sparked a global wave of love and support after her mom, Nicole, rallied friends and family to send cards. From receiving a card signed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to over 6,000 messages of kindness pouring in from 34 countries, Kaitlin's story transformed her life and inspired the creation of Friends 4 Kindness. Dedicated to celebrating individuals struggling with social connections, Friends 4 Kindness advocates for inclusion and acceptance through various initiatives such as online buddy programs, Unbirthday Parties, and a card-writing program. Supported by generous donors, Friends 4 Kindness aims to spread love and positivity to those who need it most.
So, we invite you to watch The Unbirthday Party webisode, which tells the story of how we started, where we’ve grown, and introduces you to many of our friends who have joined us along the way.
