In August 2014, Brian and Angel Pietsch and their two sons, Hunter and Seth, were inspired to begin their organization when it was brought to their attention that a local shelter did not have the extra funds to celebrate a young girl named Destinee’s birthday. Thanks to the helping hands and hearts of many volunteers and supporters, Little Birthday Angels was given its wings and is now celebrating one birthday at a time for many homeless children living in our community.
Little Birthday Angels is a 501c3 nonprofit organization currently serving on the Treasure Coast of Florida.

Our Joyful Mission
Starts With A Wish
Our agency partners submit a birthday wish list for each child, including their birth date, clothing and shoe sizes, favorite items, and other helpful details. Families may also choose whether they would like a Bible and devotional included with the child’s gifts. This information helps us thoughtfully select gifts that are personal, useful, and meaningful.
Gifts & Everday Essentials
We bring the magic of a celebration to every child. Our curated duffel bags include toys, cupcakes, and stuffed animals to spark their imagination and make their day unforgettable. We provide essential items like a warm blanket, re-useable water bottle, clothes, sneakers, and cozy socks to ensure they feel cared for and protected.
Joy Delivered
We transform birthdays into moments children will always remember. Each duffle bag is thoughtfully packed with beautifully wrapped gifts chosen to make every child feel seen, valued, and celebrated—then lovingly delivered by a dedicated volunteer to one of our agency partners.
