A Very Charitable Birthday

Nadia Turns 30—and Gives the Gift of Hope

Nadia, who recently moved to San Francisco from Russia, decided to turn her 30th birthday into something truly special: a fundraising event for Podari.Life.

“This year I’m turning 30—hitting a milestone, as they say. I have everything I need: a beautiful daughter, a loving husband, an amazing family, and wonderful friends. My life is full of love, joy, and adventure. I thank the Universe every day. I don’t want any presents—I want to give instead.”

Nadia works at a cozy family restaurant near the Golden Gate Bridge, and the owners of Sandrino Pizza and Vino embraced her idea. Together, they turned a regular Sunday dinner into a heartfelt celebration of generosity and purpose. Thanks to their support and the kindness of her guests, Nadia raised over $1,200 for Podari.Life.

Happy Birthday, Nadia—and thank you to you, your family, and your friends for choosing to share your joy with children who need it most.
