After only a few people
showed up to a little girl's birthday party, her local community came together
to throw her the best fifth birthday ever.
Lauren Sassmannshausen of
Spring Hill, Tennessee was heartbroken when only a few adults attended her
daughter Taliyah's fifth birthday on Saturday, despite multiple RSVP's to the
event.
"Tallie
was asking about every 10 minutes where her friends were, and my response was
'they are coming, baby,'" Sassmannshausen wrote on Facebook. But instead
of giving up, Sassmannshausen decided to open the invite to her community's local Facebook page.
Fortunately,
Sassmannshausen's local community answered the call and dozens of people showed
up, including a number of children, to celebrate Tallie's birthday.
"Never
in my life would I have thought we would have so many people care about a child
they didn't know," Sassmannshausen wrote in a follow-up post on her
Facebook page. "I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart and
I want to express my gratitude to you all for coming out and making my baby
girl's birthday so very special."
I
Never in my life thought a community would pull together like they did today. I
had several people RSVP and only a few came. Tallie was asking about every 10
minutes where her friends were, and my response was "they are coming,
baby". time passed and none of her friends showed. So I asked the
Springhill community if any of their kids wanted to come and celebrate with
us!.
NEVER in my life would I have though we would have so many people care
about a child they didn't know. I want to thank all of you from the bottom of
my heart and I want to express my gratitude to you all for coming out and
making my baby girls birthday so very special. SO THANK YOU!!! GOD IS GREAT
