Maple Leafs Wish Boy Happy Birthday After No One Comes To His Party
Happy Birthday, Kade!
Thanks to the power of social media, an 11-year-old Newfoundland boy had a birthday he’ll remember for a lifetime. Kade is a big Leafs fan so after his father tweeted out a photo of him in the hockey jersey saying that none of his friends came to his birthday party, many players and other notable celebs rallied around him and offered their best wishes.
My son Kade had his 11th birthday party last night. None of his invited friends came. That hurt. I’m asking my Twitter friends to show him some love today. If you have a minute, please send him a birthday wish. @Marner93 @91Tavares @MapleLeafs #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/kn0vP1l6z8
