Parents Rally to Give a Four-Year-Old a Birthday Party his Friends Abandoned

Organising your childโs Birthday party can be a daunting, yet exciting task. When your child starts to understand what their Birthday is all about, mums usually go all out to put on a party for their child.
Thatโs what Rachelle Briannan did for her four-year-old son Taenon.

Ms Briannan invited 12 of her sonโs closest friends to his party and some failed to show up to the party or RSVP to the invite.
The single mum was heartbroken for her son and wrote a post to the Midnight Mums Facebook page on Sunday.
โSo Iโm sitting in my room quietly crying,โ Ms Briannan wrote.
โMy son just turned four and this is the first time heโs really understood the whole party with friends thing.
โMy heart is literally broken for him!
โWhat the hell can I do to make this up to him?โ
The members on the motherโs group Facebook page rallied together and organized a celebration at a McDonaldโs restaurant in Melbourneโs north-east suburb of Eltham. A total of 30 children and 20 parents gathered to celebrate Taenonโs Birthday so he would have a party to remember.

Veronicaโs Party Supplier gave number four shaped balloons for the children to enjoy and the local Nillumbuk SES brought their trucks along so the kids could tour the rescue vehicles.

Ms Briannan was astonished by the generosity of the mums and Taenon got the best Birthday party a four-year-old could ask for.
The Midnight Mums Facebook page has since received countless support from others online wishing the little Taenon a Happy Birthday.
Well done to the parents that helped Taenon celebrate his Birthday. A cruel response from others was turned into kindness from strangers.
