Mackenzie Moretter (right), who has a rare genetic disorder called
Sotos Syndrome that has delayed her development, which makes it hard for
her to socialize, told her parents she wanted a 'big-girl party' for her 10th birthday. This meant inviting friends, so her parents sent out invitations to several of her fourth grade classmates but all but a neighbour and cousin had cancelled or did not RSVP. Meaning, only two people agreed to come so her mum took a different approach that brought 700 kindhearted people to Mackenzie's party and gave her a birthday party that she will never forget.
Her mum went on Facebook and posted in a few local groups
asking families with girls around Mackenzie's age to stop by their
Shakopee home
on Saturday - and the response was overwhelming. More than 700 people joined the Facebook event for the birthday party.
And yesterday Saturday April 18th, hundreds of people flocked to a park in Shakopee, Minnesota to MacKenzie's birthday party and gave her a celebration she'll
never forget.
Her Mom said she thought she'd get a few people to wish
her daughter a happy birthday but was overwhelmed with the turn out.
MacKenzie's Dad - Matt Moretter was speechless and grateful for the turn
out.
People came with gifts, food, chairs and even a banner that
read, 'Happy Birthday Mackenzie' to be hung from the sheltered area in
the park. Local companies donated food and even a woman dressed as Elsa
from Frozen showed up to celebrate.
The Mayor of the city declared April 18th 2015 as Mackenzie Moretter day. Amazing story. This is what people should do for other people, not Xenophobia. See the photos below...

This is what you should also try to do by not promoting cyber bullying.
This is really nice. Some of the white folks wicked sha....
There are still several good people around. Lets not give up hope
Awwww *dries teary eyes* it's funny how pple closest to u treat u badly,but outsiders show u soo much loven care...ironies of life...happy birthday sweet heart, God bless
This actually touched my soul. That we still have kind-hearted people in this world is a relied. Can't wait for the day NIGERIANS will put tribe aside and everything else and we can live this way. As terrible as oyibo people can seem, they can also be very selfless.
Today is Sunday, this is pretty much all the gospel we need.
Aww that's good, so dat she will fill among. Happy birthday dear
Awww! Could imagine how happy she must have felt.

Love Unconditionally.
Typical of modern day society.. selfish selfish selfish.

Is there hope for humanity?
this kind of stuff gets you emotional.
Omg! Hbd dear! See how God gave her a special bday! Disappointments usually turn out to be blessings, see people, gifts, food, even to the extent that the Mayor of the city declared April 18th 2015 as Mackenzie Moretter day!

This is so touching. ....
Love such stories. So cuz Shez different, oda parents could not send their kids there. This is how parents train kids 2 hate any1 who is different from them. The next thing, u have a generation filled with terrorism and racism
How nice of them this should be our way of life not this hate and killing around us.
Dat human elsa sure luks lik d animated one. Happy birthday mack
So thoughtful of them. HBD
thank God for her and her Mom. Mothers are wonderfull, may God continue to bless all u are committed and dedicated to motherhood.
But to think that Ten yr old kinds don't know what is compassion, but could operate iPhones,Bb etc is an indication of what values kids grow up with today.
with the way we are losing are moral values, manifesting in the crises and character of young people all over the world today, thinking of the world in 20 yrs time really scare me.

Linda,black folks are really sick.South Africans are lazy.Now we know why the whites treated them the way they did.
Ehyah! Segregation is just everywhere. What's wrong in attending a ten year old's birthday? Nawah!
Wow happy birthday my dear
Damn these water coming out of my eyes
This made me cry
Like the bible story where invited guests gave excuses saying they cannot come. So they went in the streets and invited everybody else. God bless her.
Awww.. God bless d ppl dat turnd up nd d gal doesnt luk sick to me
Dis is awesome,happy birthday little one!
Oh wow everything turned around for the best. She even has a day in her honor now!
Shame to all the bad belle class ppl and their parents.
When one door shuts.another one opens

People with good hearts. God bless them!
This had me in tears. Faith in humanity restored!
Happy birthday mackanze,wishing you,many more years to come,u are blessed.
This story is soo touching, had me in tears. Linda I agree with u, these what people should do for others.
Dis is why whites are still beta dan blacks... I dnt blame a white racist ... Blacks r full of hate
God not only put her class mates to shame but made her bday a life time memorable one. God bless those dat attended.
Try dis in Nigeria, d whole community wil grace d occassion witout caring abt b invited even those dat just hear abt wil b there as long as there is item 7.
Eh ya poor her,.tnx God her day was made finally
My year of Linda's 100k
This is so touching. People who were supposed to be be her peers didn't show up but strangers did. This happens to a lot of us in different ways, you think you have friends till you're in need. HBD hun.

Africans we are way back ward,see good relating scheme. We too get bad and black belle for Africa.
THE DIFFERENCE BTWN BLACK AND WHITE... IS IT IN OUR SKIN OR IN OUR BLOOD, THAT WE ARE SO SELF-CENTERED AND NOT WILLING TO DO A LITTLE GOOD FOR OUR FELLOW BLACK. GOD HELP LIBERATE OUR MINDS AND OUR SOULS FROM DARKNESS.
So sweet! And BTW shame on those neighbors and friends that did not show up initially. I hope they missed out of the real fun.
Good for them, they made her day
