BRIDGEPORT — Forget the cake, the presents and the piata.
Eight-year-old Blake Rozelle has used his own birthday gifts to spread cheer to other people.
The second-grader at Samuel Staples Elementary School in Easton spent $130 he was given for his birthday to buy 22 teddy bears and donated them Tuesday to help calm children in crisis situations.
'I wanted to share my birthday,' the youngster said at the Brooklawn Avenue headquarters of the Southeastern Fairfield County chapter of the American Red Cross, which will give the donated bears to youngsters displaced from their homes by fire or other emergencies."
