Everything’s better with cake

Maria was moved to tears when her neighbors, the Delgado family, surprised her with a birthday cake for her 80th birthday. She lives alone, so they wanted to make her “feel extra special.” They even sang happy birthday and Maria made a wish as she blew out her candles!

Nancy Delgado sums it up best: “One small gesture can bridge gaps and remind someone that they’re not alone, and restore a bit of hope and humanity. I think it’s a way of saying we’re all in this together, even if it’s in the smallest way.”
