A Community Pulls Together To Make A Little Girls Dream Come True

Things weren't looking good for Mackenzie Moretter 10th birthday party. When Mackenzie’s mom sent out invites for the little girls birthday party, nearly everyone said they couldn't make it.

Mackenzie has Sotos syndrome, a disorder that brings an enlarged skull and some developmental delays and because of it, has a hard time finding other children that will play with her.

After countless rejections, Mackenzie’s mom turned to Facebook and posted a message to other moms, writing:

Hello moms. I’m writing because I have a beautiful daughter named Mackenzie who is turning 10. I recently invited several girls to her birthday party this Saturday. I got cancellations or no calls at all saying whether they’re coming or not. My daughter has Sotos Syndrome which means she has development delays such as speech and learning. At school she struggles and is often alone on the playground. As a mother, it is heartbreaking being you want your children to be happy. I’m reaching out to moms who have daughters between the age of 9-11 that would love to come to a birthday party tomorrow from 11-1:30. You don’t have to bring gifts or stay long, just stop by and wish her a happy birthday. As of now, I have two girls coming which is family. She would be so surprised to have other girls just show up. If you are interested please send me a pm and I’ll give you my address. Thank you all for reading a mother’s wish!

The post worked and Mackenzie of Shakopee, Minnesota got the party of her dreams!

According to KMSP TV, Shakopee’s mayor even declared Saturday to be ”Mackenzie Moretter Day.
