A mum's heart was shattered into a million pieces when nobody showed up to her daughter's birthday party - but kind-hearted strangers managed to turn the day around. Mum-of-four Lex Fitzgerald invited all of her daughter's friends to a burger restaurant in Keller, Texas, to join her in celebrating her fifth birthday.
The mother-daughter duo eagerly set up their table with small gifts for each guest and colouring books to keep them occupied while they waited for their meals. But as time went on, it became apparent that nobody was coming.
Not wanting to break the news to her daughter, Willa, the mum sent out a desperate plea on social media to other parents and guardians in her area. She said on Instagram: "We had invited her entire class, last years' class, and friends we had made along the way and only 30 per cent had RSVP'd yes.
