When you are on the receiving end of a random act of kindness, you feel happy. And, that happiness becomes extra special when you get a sweet surprise on your name day (yeah, I’m a Game of Thrones fan) aka your birthday!
Sharing that elatedness with the people of the Internet, this brother Kyle Jauregui, tweeted how his 11-year-old sister’s birthday became extra special.
And, the act of kindness went viral with over 61K RTs and 208K likes.
So today is my sisters birthday and when we went to pick up her cake someone had already paid for it. It was left with this card… my family was speechless and we just want to say thank you to McKenna's mom and wish McKenna a Happy Birthday. There's still good in this world 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/ev3IeQKu6q

A grieving mom, Ashley Santi from Scottsdale, on her late daughter’s birthday buys a stranger’s birthday cake at a local bakery in her loving memory. McKenna who would have turned 10 on December 27, 2017.
She was just 9 months old when a TV fell on her and she suffered from a brain injury, and didn’t survive.
Santi told ABC News,
“It was amazing.You want to be anonymous but it’s kind of neat to see how they react. It’s her birthday so I want to do something special because I would do something special if she was alive. It’s just kind of my way of honoring her and loving her.”
The tweet met with overjoyed response from the Tweeple and we’re crying.
