Strangers surprise boy after no one shows to birthday party | WWYD 

When strangers are better friends than your actual friends-

sometimes I kinda just wish John wouldn't "break it". It kinda just ruins the moment.

“We’ll be your friends!” That was literally the cutest

i’m crying. this exact thing happened to my cousins, they have struggled to make friends due to their autism. i remember the family being contacted to come instead just so they could have some sort of birthday party. it’s nice to see that even strangers would be willing to support him.

"Hang on, I have a 12 year old" *yeets random 12 year old to birthday party*

poor guy had to go through the awkward happy birthday part 10x😭😭😭😭

The last man in the glasses really touched my heart! What a great guy he is! The world needs more people like him and all the others who showed their love to the birthday boy! ♥️

As a parent, this would absolutely destroy my soul. I would have a hard time leaving the bathroom

The last man seems to have experienced people not attending his birthday party as a child..His tears wear like flash back s.

It happened to my little brother and at one point he said to me "Does that mean nobody loves me?" and i think i never cried so much when we got home ... he wondered if he had done something wrong !! The next day i called my job to tell them i wasn't going to work and asked my little brother what he wanted to do. In the end we spent the day at the Zoo and went to see a movie afterwards! He even told me it was the best birthday of his life. I was really happy ☺️

Everytime i see this episode i start crying like a baby. This happened to me. I invited maybe 10 people and no one came. That was when i was 23. I am 28 now and still havent had another party. But this episode really touches my heart to see so many good souls out there.

It happened to me when I was 11. I remember telling my parents it was okay cause I would have the whole cake to myself. I didn't want them to feel bad. But I cried myself to sleep that night feeling unwanted and lonely. It's heartwarming to see these people ❤

“But my friends aren’t here” *hops out of seat* “we’ll be ur friends” I LOVE THE PURITY OF THIS 🥺🥺🥺🥺

" I would never not let a child enjoy his birthday party" Words to live by

This happened to my son with autism and the entire police department and fire department threw him a party for his 3rd Bday. It meant the world to us

The last guy when he said we all been there made me cry man I couldn't help it that guy deserves my respect

When you realize that strangers are so much better than your actual friends

This is probably the most wholesome WWYD like, fr

That last dude... Would make the best friend ever. It's often amazing to see that people who got something or nothing from others are the ones who try their maximum to give it to others.

This has got to be one of the best WWYD episodes...at least I think so. It's so heartwarming with all the smiles and laughter. And how strangers rally together to help make this boy happy.

The plot twist is, he wrote the wrong date on the cards

Plot twist: He wrote the wrong address on the invite card's

Damn this hits hard for me, the same stuff happened at my 17th birthday, i invited a couple of "friends" and i even had lots of pizza and cake like here, and nobody came ☹️☹️☹️ god to this day i feel so angry about it, at least i never talked to them ever again in my life after that

This one has me in my feels more than any other episode. Birthday parties are like a second Christmas for children and to see everyone help a child in this situation is too wholesome.

It’s 90% always the Parents of the children who don’t want to drop off their kids or even go to the birthday of the classmates. Cmon Parents MAKE TIME for your child’s classmates birthday party. Think about your own child.

When that last dude said “we’ve all been there” you could see the change in his face instantly, it all came back to him!! What a beautiful soul!

*In tears* i know what it's like. All my life growing up i had no friends really, and when i tried to call kids to try to come they made excuses. My parents didn't care. I am not really well accepted by people. When i watched all these strangers come together for this, my heart melted. May you never have a bad birthday again little prince.

I cried the whole video, I invited people to my birthday every year and no one ever showed up, eventually I just stopped inviting people then I stopped celebrating all together, I wish more people would see how much this means to a kid to have anyone show up. 😭

me: *aware that this is acting* also me: *tearing up*

this made me emotional, this is a horrible thing to go through as a child

This hit so close to home. I once planned a party for my 10 birthday baked 2 cakes on my own and no one showed up. It makes my child heart happy knowing good people still exist

this happened to me once, none of my friends showed up to my party and my parents had booked the whole arcade for the day, 2 hours passed and there was still no one, i spent the whole day playing at the arcade with my siblings and cousins.

Guy: is your name Cody? Kid: Yes Guy: my name’s Cody too Mother: r u kidding?

The people who disliked this are the ones who didnt show up to their friend’s bdays

Been through this myself at 13. Im 50 know and can still remember that aweful lonely sad day like it was yesterday. Nice to know there are good people out there.

Literally cried because only two people came to my birthday party last year. I planned it for weeks. I bought a banner and party favors and everything. I'm turning 16 this year and I don't think I'll have a party because I don't have any friends anymore. It warms my heart that everyone made him have the best birthday ever and that the last guy rounded up everyone to come and sing to him. Bless that man. 2/10/2023 Edit: Just saw all of these replies. I am happy to report that even though I didn't have any friends, my family threw me a surprise party. I am so blessed and I am definitely crying a bit reading all of these kind replies. Bless you all, I hope people spread the love to you as you have to me. Thank you for giving me light and hope in such a painful time. 💗 10/12/2023 Edit: It's my birthday! I'm seventeen years old now. Every time I get sad about the people I lost, I go back to these comments, and this video. I still don't have any friends coming in person to my birthday parties, but I have my family. And I made new friends who still tried to celebrate with me and give me gifts even though it's online. And these random strangers on the internet who replied to my comment with their own love to share with me. I hope you all have great birthdays. Mine has been just amazing ❤

My face hurts because of the smiling. This restored my faith in humanity

This is the worst thing ever. This happens a lot more than people realize. My daughter was turning 10. We had 7 of her friends parents confirm they were coming. We set everything up and spent the time to make gift bags, get a big cake, etc... Not a damn one of them showed or even had the courtesy to call and at least give a bullshit excuse.

In my final year of high school, all the choirs have a final concert for the seniors. They stand in the spotlight in their suits and prom dresses and I was excited for it. No one in my family came for it except my cousin. 10 years later, I'm still broken by it...

As somebody who has always struggled to make friends. This is heart warming to see.

As someone who didn’t have a single friend at this age and still never had a party, this really is nice to see. (Edit; thank you guys for all of the positivity and kindness, it’s really very heartwarming

This brings me to tears. As a mom you never want your children to feel unloved, unwanted, or not good enough. God bless them for taking time to help someone else.

This legitimately made me start crying. Sometimes it’s easy to lose faith in humanity but it’s people like this that remind me of all the good out there

My daughter is autistic and I had her 18th Birthday at a Chuck E Cheese. She was so upset that no one was showing up for her party. One friend finally came and my daughter had a really nice time with her. A few employees at this Chuck E Cheese also joined the party. I was very grateful to all of them.

It’s 1am and I’ve been crying at WWYD videos for 3 hours now

"If they don't show up, I'm gonna come over there and eat cake" This got me rolling hahahahaha we all love free cake

Ik I’m late on this but when I was 6 or 7, my friend threw a birthday party where she invited pretty much everyone we knew. Both of us had something wrong with us, and I probably would’ve struggled so hard to make friends if my mom didn’t make a ton of them for me. And thanks to that, I introduced most of my friends to eachother, but none of them were really clicking with this girl. Some of them didn’t like her too much, but still rasped yes. Her aunt was trying to make it special because it was her first birthday without her mom. The guest bags were filled to the brim, there were games galore, and they got two riding horses for us to take turns on. No one else showed up, even though some of them had already rvsped either “maybe” or “yes”. She looked sad for a moment before looking at me and saying, “More fun for us.” And honestly I’ll remember that party forever. We got unlimited time on the horses, played all the games, and her Aunt talked to my mom and decided to take us to an amusement park the next day. Both of us still have the pictures from the rides. She wasn’t even a close friend until that party- and after that we were essentially best friends and never even talked to the people who didn’t show up. I think of her anytime I hear about no one showing up because it wasn’t even my party and the whole thing broke my heart cause I knew she was genuinely upset. And looking back, she was letting me do things that I didn’t think much of (letting me take turns riding her scooter) but she told me later that she was just hoping that I didn’t realize how “sucky” her party was cause no one else was there. 😢

泣きたい時はこれ見てます。 優しさに感動。日本ではこういうパーティみたいなのなかなかないけど、こういうのに遭遇したらお祝いしたいよ！

No one: Woman: Mine's 12 Literally puts a 12 year old in a random birthday party

The 400 dislikes are the kids that didn’t show up to the party

I’m really glad all these strangers came together that’s mad love and that’s what this world needs more of

As someone whose birthdays are a horrible reminder of the past (never got a normal childhood, was neglected half my life) , I love each and every person who came up and gifted that child the best thing anyone can give: kindness. Thank you.

Plot Twist: He is actually the bully of the class & thats why they all didn't show up. Joking aside it's sad when no one shows up to a birthday party for a kid.

some mom: i have a 12 year old the 12 year old: *dies of embarrassment*

Wow! It was so beautiful seeing how all these people, of all ages, came over to make this boys day better. With all the horrible things going on in this world day after day, it was wonderful to see how many good people there really are. I cried I was so touched and it restored my faith in humanity and made my day. I am so glad I came across this video!!!

This is so amazing to see. What a lovely world it is when people treat others exactly how they'd want to be treated!

My son got invited to a bday party for a kid in his class, he had invited the whole class but I had seen that only my son played with him at school. so I took an extra long lunch break during work so I could take my son to the bday party and we were the only ones that showed up. I've never forgotten the relief on the moms face when we got there and her son was so excited he never noticed no one else came.

this is so heartwarming my eyes are sweating so much

This happens so often to children and it’s so sad. I’m glad even strangers have some empathy to make memories for lil ones

No family or friends showed up to my university graduation ceremony. I was so sad looking at the others and seeing all their family and friends around them and it broke my heart I remember wanting to cry but I was glad that I made it and graduated. This hit deep :(

When I was a server a mother had rented out a back room that holds about 30ppl for her son's 12th birthday and she was expecting family and friends to come celebrate and an hour went by and only three other people had came so she came up to me and said with tears in her eyes that no one else would be coming my heart sank, cause she told me that they were willing to release the back room and settle for a small table instead, I immediately told her no it's okay she can still have the room for his party and I went to the back of the restaurant where all my other servers were and I told them to bring their kids in and I called my mom to bring my little sister in, we all ended celebrating his birthday, my mom even got him a few presents for the boy, the boys mom cried and hugged us all for making his day special 🧡

How to get free food: *invite yourself to a birthday party*

That happened to me as a kid. I felt this one. I am so glad for those wonderful people that stepped up and helped out.

The mom who said "mines 12!" N her sons just jumped into action i love them all

This happened to my daughter once.. She invited her whole class and only 4 showed up ... After that we only invite the only 4 kids that showed up that day.

“My names Cody too,” Lady: “aRE yOu KiDdiN?!”

Ive watch countless episodes of this show, and this is the first time i as far as i can remember that ive actually cried. I remember my 14th birthday party when literally one person showed up, so this hits home for me. I also remember mentioning to a new kid in my class that only one person showed up, and he told me not a single person had showed up to his last birthday party. Im nearly 30, and i still think about that boy having no one show up for him. It broke my heart.

Geez. The idea that a kid doesn't have a single friend show up for their birthday is heartbreaking. I would honestly be holding back tears while trying to encourage the kid in question. I would say "if they don't care enough to be here on your special day, they don't deserve to have you treasure them in turn."

This one really good there’s no Karen or racist person it’s just pure kindness

“We are going to the movies after this” - good old days eh.. Edit1: OMG thank you guys for so many likes.. I feel y’all we are in this together.. hopefully everything becomes normal in coming months.

The last dude... that man has a giant heart.

I feel this, no one came to my daughters party, after me almost dying and then her grandma, I wanted it to be so special. Invited like 40 people, 4 showed up. I bawled my eyes out and now my kid thinks no one cares about her. It's so heartbreaking

I'd have joined the party. It sucks, at that age, not having friends.

both of my brothers have been in this situation, no one came I’m so happy to see people share their kindness to the sweet birthday boy This happens more than people think, it breaks hearts

I remember in elementary school being the only one to show up to a friends birthday:’) him and his family put on a whole play for me and my dad and even as a child i new i made his day and i miss him all the time:’) thank you jimmy! it’s been almost 2 decades but you’re awesome! i’m so glad i could be the one to show up :)

This made me emotional, has to be a worse nightmare for every parent.

This is one of the most traumatic moments for a child. I lived it and I know exactly how does it feel. As an adult I never celebrate my birthday anymore. I hope my daughter will never feel this way.

This is so heartwarming! First of all I want to say that no child ever deserves this to happen to them!!! If you get an invitation from someone and not show up, it’s a complete disgrace to the invitee who treated you enough as a friend to invite you to their birthday party. Secondly, hats off to all the customers and strangers who came by and decided to join Cody’s birthday party! It was really heartwarming! I can say from my own personal experience, sometimes a little bit of kindness can make someone’s day❤

This video is the living proof of strangers are better than acquaintances.

“People didn’t show up to my party, it broke my heart.” 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

The man that said “because I’ve been there, no one came to my party” Oh God I started sobbing so freaking hard

This happened to me three birthdays in a row I know this pain so well. I can’t even begin to explain how happy this would have made me feel. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.

No kid should ever go through this nonsense! A birthday is a special day and must be celebrated! Watching strangers make this boy happy, really brings tears to my eyes! Me too had never really had close friends and hardly did have a big party. This shows that there are still cordial people in this world!

I went to a girls birthday party in 3rd grade and was the only one there. She was constantly picked on and had such low self esteem. We were the “popular,” girls who played sports and were in student council and all that jazz, but I always stuck up for her. We went miniature golfing and had a great time. We still y’all every now and then on FB and she always tells me joe much it meant to her. Being a nice person is not that hard, especially to kids. ❤️

This literally made me cry.. This happen to me for my daughter's birthday and nobody showed up not even her father or his family. We ended up taking the cake home had me my mom and my aunt's sung happy birthday and cut the cake but I was sooooo hurt I felt like I was a bad mom because nobody showed up even after I sent out invitations.

this episode had the most wholesome moments that the shows experienced, It makes me so happy to see that they would all join and celebrate his day with him, I wanna hug them all🥺

damn, this has got to be one of my favourite 'what would you dos'. I know it's a 12 year old kid's birthday party, but it still hits close to home. Has to be one of the worst feelings in the world.

This is why I don’t tell anyone about my birthday nor invite people

That last man’s was amazing! Without hesitation “I’ll be your friend” and starts up the party for the boy. God love him.

I was never allowed to have a birthday party or anyone to come over for it- but seeing a child expect people to show up and they don’t is truly heartbreaking.. I’m glad strangers joined in 💜

It’s nice to see people come together for someone they don’t know. Growing up my mom was physically and mentally abusive until she kicked me out of the house at 16. Been on my own ever since. I am 64 now and to this day I still never had a birthday party. So it makes me feel really good to know moms are better than mine. Maybe not all but hopefully much more than like mine.

We had a special needs kid in my class in 3rd/4th grade who invited the entire class to a pizza birthday party. I RSVP'ed and said I wouldn't be going, along with apparently every other kid in class. Nobody really liked him. His mom ended up bringing the pizza to school after talking to the teacher, so he got his party. But to this day, I regret it and feel so sad that that poor kid had to go through all that rejection. I vowed that when my kids get invited to a party, I don't care how unpopular the kid is, their asses are going and they'll be grateful for the opportunity. There's no reason to be that unkind, ever. (Of course, we homeschool to, among many other reasons, escape bullying and other cruel kids, but that's a different topic.)

One time in 4th grade I was invited to a birthday party, I told my mom I did not want to go because I had social anxiety but my mom made me go it turns out me and another girl where the only ones there out of the whole class. I was glad I came because I felt bad for her.

"and what do you get out of it?" "a smile on his face, thats all i wanted to see." had me bawling in seat

They are so good people they deserve everythink they want

As a person who doesn't have any friends to talk with or to play with, this is so heartwarming. I'd hug Cody because I know what it feels like feeling abandoned.

“I’m sure your friends will be here soon.” “Obviously I don’t have any, mum” Me ~woaahh I never had this much likes on a comment before Thank you!

This made me cry. Those people with kids just taught them an amazing lesson and are being raised by amazing people ❤

This made me emotional, I haven’t experienced no one coming to a birthday party but as a teen I have been let down a lot by people not turning up to outings together etc. this warms my heart to see people coming together

The last guy must be a really nice person. I feel sad for his experience😢
