A boy from Blumenort is just 10 years old and he is already making a big difference in his community. 

Oliver Fuchs’ birthday was on April 22nd, and for his birthday, he decided he wanted to make sure that everybody gets a cake on their birthday. 

He decided that for his birthday he was going to make cake-kits for people who can’t afford them. 

His mom, Candace Fuchs, says she is very proud of her son. 

“I pitched the idea, but I left it up to him. I wasn't going to force him if he didn't want to do it, and he was on board right away. He was very much in favor.” 

The cake-kits included birthday cake mix, Sprite, balloons, candles, and icing.

Oliver recalls the day when the family brought their donation down to Steinbach Community Outreach. 

“They said, ‘oh, that's so nice of you!’” 

He says giving away the cake-kits made him feel great, and he is glad he could bless people celebrating their birthdays.
