Cops are known for doing heroic acts for complete strangers all the time, but for this Arkansas boy, nothing was more heroic than when this group of state troopers knocked on his door with a birthday cake in hand.
To celebrate 10-year-old Toxey’s birthday, mom Angela Andrews helped her son send out 21 invitations to his entire class for his weekend birthday party. Unfortunately, not a single classmate showed up to his big day. Angela had no idea what to tell her son when she knew no one was going to his party and felt ‘heartbroken and helpless. It’s the last thing you want to feel for your kid, that no one cared enough to come,’ Andrews said.
“On Saturday night, I knew no one was coming, and I posted on Facebook just kind of like an outcry to parents. Just please if your kids get invited to birthdays take them,” Andrews said. Incredibly, an Arkansas State Trouper got wind of her heartbreaking post and knew they had to help.
After Toxey got home from school, 5 state troopers pulled up at their home with a birthday cookie cake and presents to throw him the birthday party he deserved. “They made this sweet baby’s day, his year!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Andrews posted to Facebook after the special day. “I will never be able to repay the kindness you showed my family today!!”
After opening gifts, eating cake, playing with Rino the police K-9, playing basketball, and giving him a tour of their cop cars, Toxey was moved to tears.“I cried a little bit because they did that for me. If I am remembering right, this is the only birthday that I have had with people coming,” Toxey said.
