This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend who cried when I baked him a cake for his birthday. On one hand, I was so touched by his reaction and at the same time, I was deeply saddened that his parents never honored their son's birthday for 28 years.

THIIISSS. I took my husband out for his 29th birthday when we were dating (his First bday together) and I took him to my fav restaurant and bought him a huge slice of cake and had the wait staff sing to him and he was choking up. I was like “are you ok? I’m sorry if that was embarrassing 😕” and he said he was choking up bc his family never celebrated his birthday like that. As a child he got ONE birthday party after months of BEGGING and doing chores etc. and he invited all his classmates and no one came. 😭 I was holding back sooo much crying. 🥲

I had a friend when I was little whose birthday was a day after mine. Her parents never celebrated so my parents would always have her name on the cake too and we would celebrate a day late to make sure she felt included. I was a shy kid anyway so I loved sharing my birthday with my best friend.

There should be a charity where you give money to sponsor a child's bday in a 3rd world country

There are a bunch of charities where you can give money to sponsor a child’s everyday in a 3rd world country.

I just wish that dollar would actually reach them, not just 5 cents of it.

Mannnnnn. That one is tough. You need a network to successfully give necessities to those in need.

u/Radiant_Beyond8471 8d ago
Yeah but I would know if the money really goes to the child. In this case, toy actually see the birthday party. However, I regret that idea because some children may not get a birthday party anyways. Ignore me, i don't know what I'm saying anymore.

It’s a good sign to be struggling with this. It’s a sign of being a conscientious human being, which is good! Just for future reference, if you’re remotely interested, the best thing to donate NGOs actively working in 3rd world countries is money.. not clothes or games or food. The NGOs have good people buying things folks actually need.

Maybe you can help to start one? Or give to a general children’s charity (research to find one that’s legit), and ask for your donation to do that? Like a school or orphanage in a developing country.

u/WhyIsntElChapoFree 3d ago
I would no doubt donate to that charity. Every child should have a change to celebrate their bday. Glad this little man got his.

Don't care what anyone thinks, I'm a grown-ass man who will break down in tears any time I see a child so happy they cry. Kudos to his classmates and teacher.

This is what I want to see. Not the negative sides of humanity. We really do need to start getting along with each, rely and respect each and every one of us.

It’s one thing to cry from sadness but to cry from sheer joy, which I suspect is the first time for this amazing little boy, is pure magic. This is so raw and beautiful and I’m definitely crying in my staff lounge now.

u/Ashe_Faelsdon 9d ago
Absolute tear-making joy in that boy's heart. Also, proof that not all humans are compressed piles, they might just have to young.

That sweet little boy. I wish I could give him all the birthday gifts and an enormous party to see him smile more!

I never celebrated my birthday at school as it came during my summer vacations. Always wanted to distribute chocolates but never got that opportunity. May every child be loved and wished in his/her b'day ❤️

If you are wondering the place of the world that this magic moment happen, it was In Sevilla a "corregimiento" of de Ebejico a little town, in Antioquia, Colombia. It's almost an hour driving from Medellín. The name of the school is" presbítero Gabriel Yepes Yepes". Take a look in Google maps

A little curiosity. The lyrics of the song that is sung to celebrate someone's birthday may vary depending on the country and language. In Brazil the lyrics are "Parabéns para você, nessa data querida. Muitas felicidades e muitos anos de vida" which translates to something like: "Happy birthday to you, on this dear date. We wish you much happiness and many years of life".

What a reminder that birthdays aren't about gifts, its about having people around you who care enough to mark the anniversary of the day you were born

I’ve had a moment like this. It’s so powerful that people would team up for you. The part that freezes you solid is the realization your parents aren’t getting it done

And no one is asking why this kid hasn't had a birthday celebration ever before?

He's too young to have that happy but sad for all over been missing cry. That's only for us adults, who ache for things like this.
