Mission for Sid and Buddies:

After witnessing the devastation caused by Los Angeles wildfires, 12-year-old Siddharta Reynolds saw a gap in relief effort for kids who had suffered immense loss. This loss included not only their homes, schools, and belongings, but also the joy of celebrating their birthdays. A simple yet profound question—“How would kids celebrate birthdays when they've lost their homes?”—led to the creation of Sid and Buddies.

Determined to bring hope and normalcy during such chaotic and unsettling times, Siddharta founded Sid and Buddies, a charity dedicated to giving children in crisis the simple, yet powerful joy of a birthday celebration.

With the support of community leaders, volunteers( kids & adults) from Burbank and generous donors, we aim to use every single dollar raised to spread birthday cheer and create lasting memories for kids who need it most. Every donation, big or small, will directly fund birthday parties for kids who need joy and hope.

**How You Can Help:**

Sid and Buddies invites the community to get involved in a variety of ways—from donating funds to volunteering their time to help organize birthday celebrations. Contact us if you know a child who needs a birthday cheer. Let’s spread joy together!

We will keep this page updated with details of our first celebration. Thank you for joining us on this heartfelt journey.
