PostcardMania Helps Make an Amazing Little Girl’s Birthday Wish Come True!

Clearwater, FL, 20 August 2009 – When Breanna Karl was first asked what she wanted for her upcoming birthday she answered, “a Wii,” but that soon changed and Breanna realized what she really wanted for her birthday – and so began her extraordinary project.

Breanna decided to forgo the Wii and instead asked all her friends and family to help raise food donations for the RCS Food Bank here in Pinellas County in lieu of gifts. All guests attending Breanna’s birthday party will be bringing non-perishable food items, which will be delivered to RCS on August 26th, Breanna’s official birthday. But Breanna didn’t want to stop with just family and friends, she decided to get the word out and get local businesses involved as well!

With the help of her supportive mom, Kirsten Karl, the two lovely ladies have been working hard to spread the word of “Breanna’s Wish” food drive to help raise as many donations as possible by her birthday.

When we started to plan for Breannas birthday a few weeks back, she said she wanted a Wii, says Breannas mom Kirsten. After telling her how expensive this item is and that we ourselves are struggling, I asked Breanna what was more important: a present orfriends familyher exact response was It matters about your heart, Mom, friends family are more important than presents. Then Breannas Wish Food Drive began!

When PostcardMania CEO, Joy Gendusa, heard of this inspirational story, she jumped on board right away! PostcardMania has set up several donation bins all decked out birthday style in honor of Breanna, hoping to raise loads of donations to help make Breannas wish of helping others come true! Together, Kirsten and Breanna have gotten a handful of other local businesses to participate, such as:

Planet Buzz

Modern Business Associates, Inc.

Consumer Energy Solutions, Inc.

Core Financial

Breanna has decided to continue her project beyond her birthday as the need for supplies has grown from 6,000 to 8,000 people to feed just within the last month! With the extreme food shortages and the alarming growth rate of people in need, RCS Food Bank almost had to close its doors for the first time in 25 years for about 7 days because they didnt have any food left to give! It has been Breannas mission to make sure that RCS doesnt have to do this ever again and is taking action in every way she can to help out that is her birthday wish!
