He chose to donate half of his birthday money to Camp Ooch, a camp for children with cancer. I was so proud of him for choosing to do that at such a young age. My mom was in tears when she heard who he had donated to. It was such a special birthday. We had a big party for him and for his One Meaningful Gift, he got a new bike:
