SHAKOPEE, Minn. – When you're a kid, every year you look forward to celebrating a birthday. On Tuesday, Mackenzie Moretter turned 10. But days before the planned birthday party, all of the invited guests turned down her invitation.
"I was sad that no one was coming," Mackenzie said with pain in her eyes.
So her mom, Jenny Moretter posted a message on Facebook.
Jenny Moretter said she hoped at least 10 friends in her circle would attend the party and bring girls Mackenzie's age. But Mackenzie received so much more.
Vikings player Charles Johnson and his family attended, Elsa from Frozen left her castle to celebrate and hundreds of strangers spent the afternoon with the girl who was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Sotos Syndrome when she was 1.
