Billy's Birthday Mission

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to shoot you all a message since there are only 3 days left until this is all over.

Since this project started on the 15th, my days have been busy, amazing, emotional and very rewarding.  This project initially had the small goals of doing something good for Haiti and making my birthday something meaningful to people other than myself.

At this point, I can see that this is about much more than just my birthday and Haiti.  It’s about how a one person project can become a 60+ person project.  It’s about how inspiration can be a 2 way street.  It’s about how a little work can go a long way.

I can’t describe how meaningful all this has been to me.  I am touched that my family, friends, friends of friends and strangers have reached out to help make my mission a success.  Your donations will make an immediate impact in helping Haiti recover from the destruction, but also know that your words, stories and kindness will be carried with me for the rest of my life as well.

Since we still have a few days left until this is over, I’ll wrap up quickly by saying, thank you.  None of this would’ve been possible without your support.  If you ever need a favor from me, today, tomorrow or years from now, let me know.

-Billy Shih
