Just turned 35, alone, feeling down, tried some streaming and no one really came

12 Upvotes

Well, i turned 35 today. There's some irony in my birthday, too, if you want to know and aren't judgmental. i do have an Amazon wishlist if anyone wants to help, or could message me about getting a pizza or something simple? Whatever happens, thanks.

I don't get a birthday this year (leap year baby), but it would mean a lot if you guys could donate to help out cute (and not so cute) wildlife of Arizona on my behalf (I receive NOTHING from your donations besides your love for wildlife, I promise)

12 Upvotes

My birthday is on Feb. 29th, but since I don't get a birthday this year, I thought it would be awesome if you guys could send your presents in donations towards a very awesome local organization called Liberty Wildlife. Just as a disclaimer, I used to volunteer at Liberty Wildlife, but have since quit and am not affiliated with them in ANY way. I make this promotion simply because I know of the difference they make towards the native wildlife in Arizona.

Liberty Widlife: This is an organization in Arizona that I used to volunteer at. Their primary goal is to treat sick native wildlife (specializing in birds) and reintroduce them back into the wild. They also work on educating kids and adults on the local wildlife. The people who work there are amazing and because of their effort, their success rate of reintroducing birds back into the wild is over 50%. They are a government funded organization, and like any other government funded organization, they are in need of more funding to continue to do what they do.

You can check them out here on their website or facebook page:

And you can make the donations here:

I just found this subReddit...I turned 25 an hour ago...show me some stranger love in the form of supporting my academic goals?!

12 Upvotes

Hello, new fun birthday support circle. I just turned 25. I am moving to a new city to take classes in Trauma Prevention and Recovery. My wishlist is full of the texts I will need for the new semester, plus some personal self-help books on getting over a break-up (I am freshly out of a 2.5 year relationship). I have to admit, I feel really weird and a little guilty asking for help--there are people who need it much more than me. But I guess--if it is truly RANDOM acts of birthday, then everyone (who knows about this resource) has a chance to benefit equally (?!) Really the sheer existence of this community and others like it give me hope, not in a Dan Savage It-gets-better kind of way but in a Make-It-Better kind of way. Anyway if you want to be my birthday benefactor and buy me some college books, then wow. Rock on, random birthday support community

It will be my birthday exactly one month from today....

12 Upvotes

....However, I'm here to ask for nothing.

Sure, I have an Amazon Wish List. And sure, there are things on it (and outside of it) that I need and want.

But my birthday wish on (and for) reddit is that this subreddit grows, and that more people who really need things can be surprised and touched on their birthdays by generous givers.

In my opinion, birthdays are the single most important day throughout the year to anyone. And if there is someone out there who is down on his or her luck on that birthday, that person deserves a gift much more than I do.

May this subreddit continue to 'RANDOMLY' make someone's birthday brighter!!

This is dead but...

11 Upvotes

I know this place is dead but I'd like a surprise birthday gift (its early july) from either my steam or amazon wishlists. I can provide it to anyone interested in taking this up. Maybe you can just draw my ocs, I dont know.

My grandmother who raised me is sick and going senile. I might have to rehome my dog. Everyone is too physically, mentally and emotionally drained to care about my biryhday.

Thank you.

Edit: a birthday card would be nice too.

Turned 32 two days ago, and an odd request.

11 Upvotes

Honestly, things have been difficult for a while. If I could have anything, I'd want a hot shower with good soap, clean clothes to change into and eight hours on a real bed. Not a broken futon or hospital mattress.

I have no idea how that would work, but I would like that.

Today is my 31st Birthday! I started this sub and I hope it has brought joy to many :D

11 Upvotes

I'm so glad this subreddit is still going. I started it because I think birthdays are really special and everyone should get to feel important and loved on their one day a year that's all about them. I hope this sub has helped spread some of that. Thanks to everyone who participates in here.

And of course I'm gonna add my wishlist just because it's the thing we do here.

Thank You to MomOfFiveky and my mystery gifter!

11 Upvotes

I received a wonderful card from Momoffiveky a few days before my birthday. It made me really happy, and when no one else posted, I figured that was going to be the haul, which was even better than I had hoped for, then today, I received a package from Amazon, It was gift wrapped and everything. Someone had actually gone to my wishlist and purchased a book for me off my list. The only message was that it was "To douchebag_Karren". It doesn't have a reddit name for who it's from (it has a real name, but I'm not going to post that looking for the person.)

So who ever you are that sent me LeMorte D'Arthur for my birthday, thank you for your kindness. You've made me a very happy person. :)

Also thanks to Momoffiveky for the wonderful card.

Grandsons first birthday since his dad passed

11 Upvotes

Roman will be 9 on August 26th and he is really feeling sad. Last year his dad was in the hospital battling leukemia, and sadly passed on October 5. I would love for him to be swimming in birthday cards and well wishes. Can we show him some love? Thank you in advance for helping me make him feel so special. **EDIT--I have made him a wish list of sorts, I know he loves legos, remote controlled cars and the like and I know for sure he has hit a growth spurt and all of his clothes are now super tight, he has gone from a 6/8 to a 10/12 and the 10-/12's are too tight so I listed 12 and 14---Dear Lord this boy is going to be huge! He plays baseball and football with the community teams, and they went to all stars again!!

My Nana will be 90 on Jan. 8! I would love to surprise her (Maine, USA)

11 Upvotes

As the title says my Grandmother will turn 90 on January 8, 2012. I live with her because she has dementia and can not live on her own. Most of her friends have passed away and the living ones don't visit much. I would love to surprise her with lots of gifts and cards. She lost her only son (my dad) 4 years ago and this time of year is hard for her. So here is the wish list I made for her.

http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1JE9XU404PQDM/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_o

And here is my beautiful grandmother

Thank you all. PM me if you want a name and address for cards!

It's my Birthday on the 13th.

10 Upvotes

Hey, so I've already posted about this in /r/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon here, but it's my Birthday on Monday and I just felt like making it known.

I'm not really expecting anything from anyone this year, my Mum and Stepdad have been saving years to get enough money for a deposit for a house and finally put that through a week or so ago so they have nothing and all of my friends are students so they don't have much money. I just wanted to post here and say that even if I just get a few happy birthdays on Monday, or anything, it would really make my day. :3

I'm not sure if I should post anything here at all? Like my address or anything? I don't know. I don't want to look like I'm begging for anything, as I'm not. I just don't want my 21st to be forgettable. :/

Edit: Also should point out I'm in the UK. Sorry about that.

[REQUEST] I'd like my sister to realize how special she is, help me make it to 40 birthday cards?

9 Upvotes

I have this awesome sister who's been like a mother to me most of my life. when my actual mother died, my sister promised her she'd take care of my "wild ass", and she has. she's been so good to me and she's had it pretty rough this year. She's run the gamut of negative emotions after going through a divorce and withstanding some medical issues.

I'd really love it if I could get some birthday cards sent to her. her Birthday is October 23rd and I'm trying to get to 40 cards. Please help me!!

If you're interested, please comment in here, and I'll send you a PM with the address, along with trying to keep a running count of number of cards.

Reddit, thank you so much in advance. You have no idea what this will do for her self esteem and over all outlook on life

Final Edit:

My sister LOVED her cards!

I wasn't able to get pics of all the cards like I wanted to because she didn't have a lot of time to open all of them, as she was at work. I hate that, because I didn't get a chance to see all the cool cards that were put together. Thanks again so much, everyone! You made this her best birthday and this became the closest I could get to showing her how much she means to me!

Jan 21 - I love my birthday more than anyone over the age of 6 and would LOVE cards!

9 Upvotes

I'm active on a lot of the Random Acts subs and love them. This one seems pretty cool to me, since I don't know anyone who gets as jazzed about birthdays as I do.

Usually I have an enormous party, and that was the plan for this year. But in light of the reality of our financial situation, I'm finally coming to realize how silly and selfish it is of me to throw extravagant "me day" parties every year.

I have an Under $5 Wishlist on Amazon (some are a little over since Amazon has changed prices since added), and since I'm in other Random Acts subs, there are actually several wishlists linked down the lefthand side if you want to explore! Heh.

I would love to get some birthday cards to put up in my entryway since I'm taking down the Christmas cards.

I'll be turning 24 :)

Thanks!

My birthday is Nov. 23rd and I like used books!

9 Upvotes

I would quite like to receive books or cards for my birthday, and, more than anything else, I just love to see things come in the mail!

My wishlist is http://amzn.com/w/XPF9MMQ50O41 . Please don't feel pressured into getting or sending me anything, I just thought that I might as well post this! I have mostly educational, drink, reference, political satire and humor books. I am mostly fond of paperback books and, for costs sake, I am always fond of used books. I just love learning and I hope to be an educational actress/comedienne someday.

Thank you for your time! I hope that I can start giving for birthdays soon, too, and I think this subreddit is marvelous.

Roman sends huge hugs and thanks to everyone who sent him cards and gifts he got for his birthday. He was so very surpirsed.

I am at the hospital with the hubs again (going on day 20) so my list is not at hand to give each and everyone of you a shout out--but my landlord collected my mail for me and made sure Roman was able to have his stack on the special day!! xxoo to all who made his day so wonderful--Kathy

First off thank you VERY MUCH for the Australian Care Package Degradation I loved the care package and the foldable globe thing now has a very nice spot on my desk, I love it. I can't wait to try some of the candies/biscuits they look AMAZING. It's really crazy how different candies and snacks are here compared to there. Also the post cards make me really want to go to Australia even more it looks beautiful! Thank you so much for the care package it really brightened up my day :D

And thank you for the Card momoffiveky it made me chuckle.

Thank you everyone for the happy birthdays and the cards and everything it really cheered me up and made my day. :)

UPDATE

Thank you for the card aw8gr8f8 (love the user name) I loved the card! My mom wasn't too happy about the confetti and I immediately had to vacuum (lol) but the card was very funny and I like the necklace pendant thing and the Platypus sign and the tasmanian tiger sticker they are very cool!

Note from a mod.

9 Upvotes

Hey all who have joined! I see we have 61 readers so far. I know that at least one of the Birthday posters has received some gifts. I don't know about the others, but don't give up hope. This subreddit is trying to find its footing and I hope to advertise it more and get it running stronger over the next few days. I am a busy mom of two, so I don't have all the time I would like to devote to RAoB, but I will do my best (as will my husband who is the other mod currently). We will be looking for some other mods to help us out soon. In the meantime, I just wanted to post to say that if you do receive redditor gifts and cars for your Birthday, please take pictures of you with your loot. I know I give gifts randomly (to redditors and others) b/c I just like to do it, but I always LOVE to see pictures of the people enjoying their goodies. It is the little I ask for in return ;D And I know I'm not the only one. Thanks!
