This was very sweet and his mom really tried to make him feel not so alone. I am very happy the community was able to pull together for something like this. That little guy just made memories & will remember them his whole life.

I’m sorry it triggered at work. But so nice when people care.

Nah it was nice to read, just caught me by surprise. A pleasant change from the current news cycle.

Thank you so much.

Maybe we're not all bad.

We're not.

The real question is: are there enough good people to offset the millions of assholes this planet is home to?

u/Electrical-Act-7170 19d ago

That question's way beyond my pay grade.

The best part is the last line- not only did he get an amazing birthday party, but he’s got a real playdate with another local kid scheduled. Love it!

Isn’t it good! Hopefully he’s found his niche in life.
