đ«The 6-year-oldâs birthday celebration is empty when the mother posts a picture, and the neighborhood comes together to help.»đ«
It was meant to be the best day of Teddyâs childhood, but for him, it turned out to be a horrible one. For his sixth birthday, his parents planned to take him to Disney World or Lego Land, but he wanted to spend it with his friends. Teddyâs mother picked out a table at Peter Piper Pizza about two weeks before the big day, and she gave Teddyâs teacher thirty-two invitations, asking her to distribute one to each student in the class. More than half of the childâs parents said they would bring their children to the celebration.
On Teddyâs birthday, Teddyâs mother, Sia, packed gift bags for her sonâs friends and placed an order for a huge pizza. Despite everyoneâs expectations that it would be an absolute joy, not a single student spoke out. After more than sixty minutes of waiting, the buddies were no longer visible. After this, Sia was crushed. She was heartbroken for her kid, who was having a very trying day on what ought to have been a fun one. Teddyâs father told the New York Post, âI was bummed; I was bummed out for sure.â
In an attempt to cheer up their kid, the parents tried to distract him with activities like arcade games. Sia decided to take a photo of Teddy and share it online to spread awareness that something similar should never happen to anyone.
Hundreds of individuals emailed Teddy birthday greetings, and many of them included gifts. To make Teddyâs day a little bit better, the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Rising MLS team invited the family to their next games. On behalf of all the other parents who chose not to bring their children to the celebration, only one parent expressed regret to Sia.
