When no one showed up to 10-year-old Adalynn Gonzalez's birthday party at a Longview, Texas skating rink, her grandmother reached out to the community on social media — and East Texas came through.
People from all around showed up, turning what started as a disappointing day into a celebration Adalynn will never forget. Skaters of all ages arrived with gifts, smiles, and lots of love.
The outpouring of support was especially heartwarming for Adalynn’s family, still grieving the recent loss of her grandfather, who had never missed a birthday.
