Hi! My name is Shilpa Burkett and I am a mother of 3 amazing children (Norah, Dylan and Aria) I love celebrating their birthdays. It makes my heart so happy to be able to share the joy of birthdays with more families experiencing financial hardships.
I immigrated to the United States in 1989 at the age of 8 with my family. My parents worked hard and raised three children with a lots of love. Birthday parties were hard to afford for them yet they always made sure to celebrate each of our birthdays no matter how small, we felt special and loved.
 
My husband and I have been living in Mobile since 2004. My professional background was in HR/recruitment. In 2014 he completed his medical training and I started my new role as a stay-at-home-mom. I have been a volunteer for local nonprofits in Mobile ever since then. Box of Balloons was one of them. I took over as the Chapter Leader of Box of Balloons Mobile in 2023. I’m excited to keep the party going and bringing the joy of birthday celebrations to more families in our community.
