‘Heartbroken’ Oregon Mom Has a Message for Parents After No One Came to Her Son’s Birthday Party
October 23 was a big day for 9-year-old Mahlon. In fact, it’s been a big year for him.
In July, his family moved from Portland to Bend, Oregon, and after being homeschooled his entire life, he started to attend public school with the hopes of achieving his dream of throwing a birthday party with classmates and friends.
Last Sunday, the house was decked out, the party theme based on Mahlon’s favorite book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, was set and the birthday cake ready to cut, but no one showed up.
Mahlon and his family were crushed.
