As an adult, I had gotten used to no one celebrating my birthday. Then at the age of 56 while teaching English in Venezuela my students threw me a birthday party. 3 blocks of houses on the street where I lived were blocked off and every house had a table in front with food and drinks and over 1,000 people attended. Until that moment I had no idea what I had been missing my whole life. I am so happy this happened for this young lady. This birthday will cement in her heart what love is. Happy late birthday Charlotte and way to go community!
That is so beautiful!!! Sounds like a true community there where people care about each other. If only the world could be that way all the time ❤. For so many to care means you definitely deserved it!!
Chloe is a special person, who has much responsibility at age 28. She's a wife, a business owner, and is raising, alonw with her husband, a young stepson, their own child and now her sister. I wish that had been brought out during the interview on Kelly's show. That's a lot for anybody. Great story.
@@tracyelizabeth2178 Because to Chloe's heart, that's what mattered. In that moment she wasn't a mother, wife, or even a business owner. She was a big sister who just wanted her little sister's birthday to be a success because of the loss they had both experienced.
Growing up I always had huge birthday parties with generally 10-15 friends. One year a girl in my class invited everyone and I’ll admit I didn’t really want to go but my mom RSVP’d that I’d go. I ended up getting two of my friends from the class to go with me and we were the only ones that showed up!! To this day I am thankful for my mom pushing me to go because seeing how happy it made her was worth it and I couldn’t imagine no one showing up.
Yes, your mom gave you a valuable life lesson there. I don't care if the kid is a dork or unpopular or whatever, if someone invites your child to a party and you can afford a gift then send your child with that gift and teach them that sometimes being a good person means spending two or three small hours of your life to make someone else happy. And sometimes really good things can come out of that. Not the least of which are empathy & good character.
@@sakitoby1581 unfortunately there are some that don’t learn that loving life lesson.. and they continue to miss out on important moments simply because they don’t want to (which is heartbreaking for someone invested in the relationship). Agreed-OP’s mother did a beautiful thing and certainly taught them a beautiful, truly caring way of being. Love is cultivating love together. If we’re never showing up in the ways that matter to the person, we are failing in loving them
My daughter's birthday party was last weekend it was her first since her father left her life, she was turning 11. I shaved every penny as a single mom to give her a party at a bowling alley that's what she wanted I got one RSVP I had paid for eight kids the time for the party to start rolls around and there's nobody and I can see the panic in my daughter and I'm just reassuring her you know people are late sometimes but in my heart I'm freaking the f out I don't care about what I paid or whatever I just don't want my baby's heart to be broken. Slowly five of her friends trickled in so only two didn't come and one of the kids had his her brother and sister who were going to go on the other side and do it by themselves I was able to just throw them in the party too and they got all the fun stuff so it worked out okay but gosh that Mom panic about birthday parties is not talked about enough
Mothers can be so inspiring, as you are. I was adopted, but I found my real mom later in life. She turned out to be inspiring also, and I'm glad I made that effort. Have fun with your daughter Jenni.
I’m sorry her father left you both (if it was a non-abusive situation). Wishing you strength and support as you continue making it work for you and your daughter. 💕 I don’t know if it means much from an internet stranger, but I’m proud of you. Doing what you need for you and your daughter. It ain’t easy, that’s for damn sure. Peace be with you both~
We word, “mature”, is a bit inappropriate to me because she’s still young, growing, and navigating the loss of her mother as well. I pray while she’s helping mitigate this loss for her sister that she has a great support system to uplift her as well. Too many times I see adults will pull through for the child but forget about the adult taking care of the child.
@@leoremon7385 She is 28 years old and comes across as very mature (she is married), however, your point is very well taken. We never stop needing our parents. ;0)
I was actually weeping as I saw the clips of everyone who came to Charlotte's birthday without even knowing her or her sister. I loved the horse and the line of jeeps just handing out gifts 😭
Won't lie - my favorite part was the snakes :D As a girlie who loved spending time with the snakes when they were in our class, I fully approve that addition :D
i am SO glad that her first birthday without her mom went so well, that sweet girl deserved it ❤️ my brother turned 6 in july and we invited all 17 kids in his class, and only 3 rsvp’d, on top of that, out of the 21 close family members invited, not a single one showed. he went down the list of every single one of our family members and asked if they were coming, it was awful telling him they weren’t coming. if you get an invitation to a birthday party, please try and make it. so much money and time is put into making these parties special. even if you can only make it for 45 mins, just showing up for a bit makes all the difference. presents aren’t the thing kids go looking for when they invite their friends, they just wanna be with the people they love on their birthday.
This is so heart breaking! I know my children just want family and friends around for their birthdays. I am so sorry. I pray he has a better one next year.
I don't have kids, but I don't understand that, the kids not coming is bad enough but no family??? I went to any party, ball game, or recital that any of my cousins had or my cousins' kids, my friends' kids. I've taken them on excursions when they were younger to different events happening within an hour's drive from home. Even took my friend's daughter to Canada around her 16th birthday. I would've been there if I lived anywhere nearby (I live in Greece now, but used to live in NY), you could've told your child that I was a distant cousin when I showed up! My heartbreaks for the children. This is just wrong!
Summer birthdays are hard for classmates, but family not making the effort is so extremely disappointing. I’m sorry your brother had to deal with all that disappointment. 💔Time to try growing a mostly-friends family. 🤦🏼♀️
When I was 9 or 10 my mom invited all the kids in my class to a Go-Kart track for my birthday. A bunch of kids showed up that regularly bullied me and ignored me the whole time while spending my parents money. That is when it donned on me that nobody really gives a f@ck about each other and stopped having birthdays.
My father (71 years old) always says: you have no friends, but you have friends everywhere. Many times your “closest” friends will disappoint you and many times you’ll find great kindness in a person you meet once.
Charlie &Me.....Yes, I totally agree. She has the qualities that you would want in a best friend. I love her show, and I really miss her as a judge on The Voice. She brought alot of positivity to that show, too.
I don't do birthdays. But then I'm a grown man, older than most who watch this. But a kid, especially one who has gone through the traumatic loss of a parent, needs something like this. A birthday celebration is a validation of how people value you as a human being, as their friend as a beloved member of the family. It isn't just a celebration of a milestone in your life. They are celebrating your existence. This is incredibly important for children especially when they see other children being celebrated. I am so glad this situation got fixed for this child.
That’s it….when a child sees other children being celebrated…..even some of the bullies being celebrated….they begin to question their worth….and it’s a setup for lifelong self esteem problems and heartache. Breaks my heart.
I watched Chloe’s tiktoks for ages during her mothers chemo etc. And i watched her struggles and victories. She honestly seems like a wonderful person. She really tries her best. She’s amazing. She’s raising a beautiful daughter/sister.
For my daughter's 2nd birthday we flew my mother-in-law to Virginia from Florida for this huge princess and knight birthday party. I invited over 20 kids from our playgroup. They all said they could come but not one person showed up. Nobody called to explain just nothing. I cried for the first 3 hrs. I thank God she was only 2.
I'm sorry, that really sucks. I don't remember this issue when my kids were younger in the 90s. Everyone who was invited came. I took my kids to all the parties they were invited to. Why are people so uncaring?
@@tailgatecarpenter26 because my in-laws live out of state and wanted to do it, I wanted to celebrate her because she almost died the year before. (You know firetrucks the works) also because I tried for 23 yrs to have a baby of my own so she was kind of a big deal. She's 7 now and we fly to Florida for her birthday every year to be with family instead. Plus growing up I was dirt poor and didn't have birthdays. Btw I'm an older mom too. I'll be 52 in a few months. I did everything you said in the 70s I chose to have a huge birthday for her 1st and 2nd because I almost lost her twice
@@achanwahn i mean, if you bothered to read the reply right above yours, you would understand. But again, as tons of comments have noted, people lack empathy and respect.
Being a single mom, after inviting the entire neighborhood, the entire daycare and the whole family for the 1st BD party, and everyone showed up (we're talking 3 runs for ice, addl cupcakes & party hats), I limited how many kids (& parents) mine could invite to how old they were gonna be. Once they were about 8, I backed off on that, as most of the parents weren't staying for the party anymore.
This might be the best thing I’ve seen in years. So much love shown by the community. And big sister taking care of Charlotte is so beautiful too. Sorry for the loss of their mother.
You KNOW that little girl is going to be healthy and happy. Who wouldn't want an older sister like that? Faith in humanity Chloe , you are a REAL mother in every sense of the word. Be so proud of yourself, I know I am proud of you. People like you make the world shine in times of darkness. Hugs to you both from the UK x
F cancer! Ugh! My daughters 10, she lost her papa to the same brain cancer when she was 7. I hate being a single mother . I loved that man with my whole heart. I try to give my.little girl the world. Because she deserves it
I have a Jeep Wrangler and I’m in several groups and we do this for every kid for birthday, Christmas etc and it’s amazing how much the Jeep community come together for kids were also doing a ride to Tennessee from my state of North Carolina to st Jude’s and do a ride for donations and goin into the hospital to see the kids one of my friends is dressing up as spider man
As someone who lost their Mum to Cancer at a young age my heart goes out to Chloe & Charlotte, I'm so sorry for your loss she will always be watching over you all. It is truly beautiful what the community pulled together for her birthday, it looked like a truly fantastic day full of fun memories I love that she made new friends. Chloe is an amazing big sister I'm glad she was able to keep Charlotte with her to raise her as her Mum wished, her reaction to the holiday brought more tears to my eyes. Thank you again Kelly for sharing these inspirational stories & for giving a little something to these beautiful people 💛
When Taylor mentioned that this happened in Memphis, I was not the least bit surprised. That is the most beautiful city and the times I've visited, the people have have just been the nicest. Faith in humanity restored in a BIG way! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! Your mother in heaven was shedding tears! Thanking all who pitched in!! I'm literally crying watching!! All the 30 Jeep's!! The Heroes who helped set up, brought the horse, reptiles, and pitched in!! As a single Mother this is just amazing 👏 😍 🙌
It's so beautiful to see people showing up for each other in their community! And the vulnerability it took Chloe to post that Tiktok and accept help says a lot about her - you can tell she'll do a great job raising Charlotte. Seems like this outpouring of love has been a part of their family's healing journey, and I pray that continues!
I’m currently on dialysis and started in 2016. My daughter is now 15. Every year I prayed to God that her birthday didn’t fall on a dialysis day. Here where we live they shut down the only kid/adult bouncy house place so there is literally nothing her for kids and teens. I made it work every year. I realized that she would say she really didn’t want a party so that I wouldn’t be stressed out. Well come February my baby turns 16. I feel obligated to do something over the top and fun. She wants to go on a tour of Art museums and a concert. I’m praying I have the money and energy. She’s the most loving and compassionate kid you’ll meet.
I love that other mother who didn’t know them said that even if they were the only ones that showed up that they were going to make it great! Very touching! That’s the kind of friends that everybody needs.❤❤❤
I'm happy people came through. I lost a mom to cancer when I was pregnant. I had that moment where I felt I needed a mom to help me be a mom. I'm so happy a community from everywhere pulled it together!
Wheeeeew this one hit hard I’m over here ugly crying. I lost my mother in my 20’s it was the hardest loss I’ve had. Over 16 years later it still hurts I hate Mother’s Day because she’s not here. I’m brought my heart such joy to see how the community came together and also how dedicated her sister is to raising and going all out for her.
last year was my daughters first party that she invited people from school. She is 11 and autistic and no one RSVP'd Luckily 2 still showed up but my daughter was just grateful and happy for them to show up that she didnt stress. I feel so bad for this child . I lost my mom to cancer at 2 years old so i empathize so much with Chloe
I’m sure I’m not the only one that cried the entire video. As an employee of Jeep I am so proud of what Jeep Clubs do all across the country for charity.
How wonderful all that stepped up. So many tears and then chuckles at the 30 vehicles driving by for her birthday and the horses and all the new friends. Such a pretty young lady and a beautiful smile. Now a wonderful trip too. God has good things Happy birthday 🎉🎉
If Chloe and Charlotte were interested, would they write a book about their story for a charity of their choice? Their mom raised two wonderful daughters, she would be so proud of her eldest daughter looking out for her younger sister, and that Charlotte's favourite part of the party was being able to make new friends. Looks like both Chloe and Charlotte made some new friends!
Will never forget in 6th grade our lit teacher had us “interview” our parents to make a family tree. The next day she gave us red pens and told us to slash everyone’s names out and write about how we would feel if all our family died. There was at least 3 kids in my class who had lost family. She had 6 classes of different kids a day. My friend had lost his brother to self-harm right before the school year started. He spent the whole class crying. I hadn’t even lost anyone by then and I was panicking. I couldn’t do it. Went home and told my mom. She is not a dramatic person and never makes problems for teachers or admin. She and a bunch of other parents freaked the f out and ultimately were confused…. Like wtf would motivate a teacher to do such a “project” with 11-12 yr olds? The “project” suddenly disappeared and we got to watch a pg rated fun movie while the principal sat in the back of the class.
The birthday party was magical!Heart-warming, fun all around and so many genuine people that came and gave some love. I really liked that so many connections were made that day and that Charlotte got this memory that she will never forget and forever cherish. Chloe is an AMAZING person, a GREAT sister and these two are so beautiful and are radiating hapiness or at least positiveness and love
OMG!! If I'd been the mother of a child in this class and learned of the party, I'd be calling Chloe to ask if she needs or wants any help with the preparations!! And YES!! Go to the party - this is how kids make memories!
How is this even possible?!?! I don’t understand how this happens a few times a year?! I can’t imagine a community that alienates a child, esp at their birthday! Sis did great outing out video BEFORE day of, for the stragglers to figure it out & show up … or get Kelly Clarkson to respond L💗L
The greatest joy in life is to bring a smile to a child's face. Especially one who has gone through such a tragic life-altering event like losing a parent.
Please stop chopping onions. We need more like those who stepped up to help create an unbelievable experience for this sweet little girl. As a child we did family celebrations for our birthday. I had 3 birthday that were the most memorable with the first one being my 7 th birthday. We had gone down to Florida where my Grandparents lived for Christmas and to visit extended family who lived there. My birthday is Jan 5th and my grandma wanted to make my day special. She asked what I wanted for my cake and what I wanted for dinner that night and she made all my favorite things with the help of my mother and her sisters who were also visiting. It was the first time that I had girlie pink decorations and presents in birthday paper and not Christmas paper which always felt like they just used one of my Christmas gifts as my birthday present. Everyone made it my special day which meant the world to me as a 7 year old. I can’t tell you how many times I had to share my birthday celebration and cake with my brother whose birthday is on Jan 7th. I wasn’t being some spoiled brat upset at having to share her birthday. I am far from it. I happen to be the #6 child of the 8 children my parents had and I love and am very close to most of the even with a 12, 10, 9, 5 year age gap between some of them. After that year Mom made a point to use birthday paper and a separate cake for each of us. I think it had happened that way because 3 of us had birthdays on the 2,5,7 and especially so soon after Christmas. The other 2 times were special because I got to have friends over for a sleepover and we got to make homemade pizza and other fun things.
It is so cool to see the positive side of social media. Love how everybody got together to give this little girl the best birthday party. It's also extremely admirable how Charlotte's big sister stepped right into the Mom role. She's showing her little sister that their mother's love lives on.
I long ago accepted that I am probably a terrible person. One of my favorite pastimes is posting snarky comments (I am 46 years old, but never said that I was an adult) and arguing with people. This clip that young woman posted stopped me dead in my tracks, with tears running down my face. I hope that wonderful things happen for these girls.
What a awesome story, Happy birthday 🎂 🎁🎊🎈🎀 Charlotte lots of blesses from my family here in Melbourne Australia 🌏 your mum will be so happy 😊 you got to have the best day ever 💜💚💜💝💕💗❤
So sorry for your loss. My mum died from colon cancer when I was 8. I know exactly how your sister is feeling and what she's thinking. Happy Birthday sweet heart ❤️ ❤❤
Watching this from the start... was just heart breaking.... but, now? Im soo happy people came through and helped Charlotte make her birthday amazing! To Chloe! You are an amazing big sister and I know ur mom is looking in and is so proud of you.
God that smile when the little girl walks out on stage that was absolutely adorable ❤️ the happiness all children deserve after losing a parent or someone the truly loved
I don't get too emotional but this made me cry!😭 I lost my mother 6 years ago and there have been many times that I have been reminded of her and do things that I know would make her smile. Congrats to being blessed with a big sister who went out of her way to make that little girl happy!
This is so wonderful. It's so important for kids to feel supported and loved, especially after a tragedy like that. My daughter's daddy passed away when she was ten and she struggled with being bullied in school. I got very sick starting the year after his passing and was unable to do much for her. I had a 16 year old daughter but she had struggles as well and there was no family around to help. Two years later I was hospitalized with sepsis and almost died as well. it took years to get strength back and my baby girl suffered severely at school by both students and teachers alike - she is on the autism spectrum and has cPTSD. Birthdays were hard. I wish something like this would've been possible for her because she's a tenderhearted and sweet girl. Seeing this sweet girl smile is so nice. Her sister is an amazing person and I hope they continue doing well.
My son invited 6 kids from his kindergarten class last year and not 1 showed up. Thankfully he was young and having his nephew and family/friends kids show up helped.
This is so sweet! I was crying throughout this whole video. I’m sorry for the mum’s death and I hope Chloe is okay, it can’t be easy having to take on a lot. My mum died a few years ago and it was heartbreaking 💔
I'm SO THANKFUL that you were there for your sister and she was able to have the birthday party she deserved!! 👏👏👏 The pain of losing your Mom just NEVER goes away!! 😞 God bless you both and praying you'll have many more blessings!! LOTS of love, hugs and prayers from Kansas... 🙏💞🙏
I had a son who had muscular dystrophy. This happened a few times during his short life. Other than losing a child, this is one of the hardest things to live through as a parent. I do remember one brithday where three of his friends (all just the sweetest girls) and one boy came to his party. We had a huge hot tub (swim spa) and he was just the happiest l ittle boy in that hot tub with pretty girls all around him. He was sunshine that day. I can't not cry when I watch videos like this.
I'm 53, and I lost my mom 4 yrs ago to lung cancer. Well, this year, my 8 yr old granddaughters birthday wish was to see her Nanna. I have decided that for her birthday, I would start a tradition of her picking a restaurant and an activity instead of having a party because, yeah, there are a lot of mean people out there. But at the same time, there are many people who have a wonderful heart . I am glad her birthday ended up being a wonderful day.
The fact that Chloe remembered everyone's names and what they did just shows how appreciative she was for them
She didn’t even say anybody’s names tho
@@oliviarodrigofan5838 well that would take too long obviously. But she remembered the people and exactly what they did.
@@oliviarodrigofan5838 yes she did. She named at least four people.
@@oliviarodrigofan5838
She named Taylor, Abby, Cindy, Libby and Alyssa and explained what they all did.
@@oliviarodrigofan5838 Watch it again without distractions. She named 4. And it doesn't matter bc she's overwhelmed. They all knew.

Charlie &Me.....Yes, I totally agree. She has the qualities that you would want in a best friend. I love her show, and I really miss her as a judge on The Voice. She brought alot of positivity to that show, too.
She most certainly is.
She is!! Warm, sincere, kind!!! Her husband was an idiot to lose her.
It was like her mom helped unite them with all these people, letting them know they’re never alone. It was a sign 💗
I follow her on TikTok. A few days after her Mama passed my Mama passed away💔 I am continually praying for you and your family girly.
Im sorry for your loss😢
So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs from the Philippines!
Thank you so very much
😭😭😭
so sorry
I don't do birthdays. But then I'm a grown man, older than most who watch this. But a kid, especially one who has gone through the traumatic loss of a parent, needs something like this. A birthday celebration is a validation of how people value you as a human being, as their friend as a beloved member of the family. It isn't just a celebration of a milestone in your life. They are celebrating your existence. This is incredibly important for children especially when they see other children being celebrated. I am so glad this situation got fixed for this child.
You are so correct. Proof that you matter and your existence matters.
That’s it….when a child sees other children being celebrated…..even some of the bullies being celebrated….they begin to question their worth….and it’s a setup for lifelong self esteem problems and heartache. Breaks my heart.
I watched Chloe’s tiktoks for ages during her mothers chemo etc. And i watched her struggles and victories. She honestly seems like a wonderful person. She really tries her best. She’s amazing. She’s raising a beautiful daughter/sister.
This is wonderful. A birthday she will never forget. Thanks to all who cared enough to help make her day special
For my daughter's 2nd birthday we flew my mother-in-law to Virginia from Florida for this huge princess and knight birthday party. I invited over 20 kids from our playgroup. They all said they could come but not one person showed up. Nobody called to explain just nothing. I cried for the first 3 hrs. I thank God she was only 2.
I'm sorry, that really sucks. I don't remember this issue when my kids were younger in the 90s. Everyone who was invited came. I took my kids to all the parties they were invited to. Why are people so uncaring?
@@tailgatecarpenter26 because my in-laws live out of state and wanted to do it, I wanted to celebrate her because she almost died the year before. (You know firetrucks the works) also because I tried for 23 yrs to have a baby of my own so she was kind of a big deal. She's 7 now and we fly to Florida for her birthday every year to be with family instead. Plus growing up I was dirt poor and didn't have birthdays. Btw I'm an older mom too. I'll be 52 in a few months. I did everything you said in the 70s I chose to have a huge birthday for her 1st and 2nd because I almost lost her twice
I will never understand doing this in the early years.
@@achanwahn i mean, if you bothered to read the reply right above yours, you would understand. But again, as tons of comments have noted, people lack empathy and respect.
Being a single mom, after inviting the entire neighborhood, the entire daycare and the whole family for the 1st BD party, and everyone showed up (we're talking 3 runs for ice, addl cupcakes & party hats), I limited how many kids (& parents) mine could invite to how old they were gonna be. Once they were about 8, I backed off on that, as most of the parents weren't staying for the party anymore.
The saying "Strangers are just friends you haven't met" fits so appropriately.
Yes.
That was her mama from heaven making up for every birthday she couldn't do, and every birthday to come :.)
Amen
This might be the best thing I’ve seen in years. So much love shown by the community. And big sister taking care of Charlotte is so beautiful too. Sorry for the loss of their mother.
You KNOW that little girl is going to be healthy and happy. Who wouldn't want an older sister like that? Faith in humanity Chloe , you are a REAL mother in every sense of the word. Be so proud of yourself, I know I am proud of you. People like you make the world shine in times of darkness. Hugs to you both from the UK x
Though I live overseas, makes me wish I had spent more time on tiktok. So glad so many saw it and acted upon it!
This gives you hope in humanity. God bless everyone involved to make this little girl feel special for a day ❤
This just broke my heart. Continue to nurture your sister & let her know your not mom but you will be there for her
It’s almost like the mom had the baby girl for her oldest girl ❤ this was a beautiful story
Kindness doesn't cost a cent, but the rewards are priceless.
I just love Kelly's energy. She's that one girl that every girl needs in her squad. 🥰
F cancer! Ugh! My daughters 10, she lost her papa to the same brain cancer when she was 7. I hate being a single mother . I loved that man with my whole heart. I try to give my.little girl the world. Because she deserves it
I have a Jeep Wrangler and I’m in several groups and we do this for every kid for birthday, Christmas etc and it’s amazing how much the Jeep community come together for kids were also doing a ride to Tennessee from my state of North Carolina to st Jude’s and do a ride for donations and goin into the hospital to see the kids one of my friends is dressing up as spider man
I thought I was a Jeep gal until I drove one. I’m really a Cadillac gal. But I love this story
As someone who lost their Mum to Cancer at a young age my heart goes out to Chloe & Charlotte, I'm so sorry for your loss she will always be watching over you all. It is truly beautiful what the community pulled together for her birthday, it looked like a truly fantastic day full of fun memories I love that she made new friends. Chloe is an amazing big sister I'm glad she was able to keep Charlotte with her to raise her as her Mum wished, her reaction to the holiday brought more tears to my eyes. Thank you again Kelly for sharing these inspirational stories & for giving a little something to these beautiful people 💛
When Taylor mentioned that this happened in Memphis, I was not the least bit surprised. That is the most beautiful city and the times I've visited, the people have have just been the nicest. Faith in humanity restored in a BIG way! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was gonna say exactly this! I grew up in Memphis and the people (for the most part) are just wonderful
Wow! Your mother in heaven was shedding tears! Thanking all who pitched in!! I'm literally crying watching!! All the 30 Jeep's!! The Heroes who helped set up, brought the horse, reptiles, and pitched in!! As a single Mother this is just amazing 👏 😍 🙌
To avoid the panic, we just keep it within the family because all the people who love them unconditionally love to celebrate them. :)
It’s scary when it happens to your kid. Did it once for our oldest… never again! Like you family.
yup thats the way it should be done and invite a few neighbourhood kids on the sly.
Rest in peace Charlotte's mom.
This story had me in tears.😭😭😭
Ikr I can't stop crying 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sobbing through this story. I just finished 26 months of cancer treatments and I know how isolating it is. God bless this community.
All the best Beth huge hugs from Scotland
Hi, Beth. Reading your comment today, and hoping/wishing you are doing well and in remission. Sending you a hug, from across the internet.
This is why I love Kelly! She has a heart of Gold and loves to spread love, light and joy to anyone she can! 😢💖
It's so beautiful to see people showing up for each other in their community! And the vulnerability it took Chloe to post that Tiktok and accept help says a lot about her - you can tell she'll do a great job raising Charlotte. Seems like this outpouring of love has been a part of their family's healing journey, and I pray that continues!
I’m currently on dialysis and started in 2016. My daughter is now 15. Every year I prayed to God that her birthday didn’t fall on a dialysis day. Here where we live they shut down the only kid/adult bouncy house place so there is literally nothing her for kids and teens. I made it work every year. I realized that she would say she really didn’t want a party so that I wouldn’t be stressed out. Well come February my baby turns 16. I feel obligated to do something over the top and fun. She wants to go on a tour of Art museums and a concert. I’m praying I have the money and energy. She’s the most loving and compassionate kid you’ll meet.
I love that other mother who didn’t know them said that even if they were the only ones that showed up that they were going to make it great! Very touching! That’s the kind of friends that everybody needs.❤❤❤
I adore Kelly Clarkson for putting this on air.... her talk show is a feel good show! Love her.
I'm happy people came through. I lost a mom to cancer when I was pregnant. I had that moment where I felt I needed a mom to help me be a mom. I'm so happy a community from everywhere pulled it together!
Wheeeeew this one hit hard I’m over here ugly crying. I lost my mother in my 20’s it was the hardest loss I’ve had. Over 16 years later it still hurts I hate Mother’s Day because she’s not here. I’m brought my heart such joy to see how the community came together and also how dedicated her sister is to raising and going all out for her.
Sending hugs and strength to you ❤️
Love this story. Chloe you are amazing. Charlotte is very fortunate to have you as a sister.
This is beautiful… I must admit I shed a tear, just watching, listening. Definition of humanitarianism. Happy Birthday Charlotte 🤩
This really shows that there are good, caring people out there. Seeing Charlotte's smile was everything ☺️
last year was my daughters first party that she invited people from school. She is 11 and autistic and no one RSVP'd Luckily 2 still showed up but my daughter was just grateful and happy for them to show up that she didnt stress. I feel so bad for this child . I lost my mom to cancer at 2 years old so i empathize so much with Chloe
Kelsey asking for permission before hugging her is so gold! Also the smile on Tay’s face when she came out, you can tell she has love for this girl!
I saw this when it was on tik tok and it broke my heart, I’m so happy she had an amazing birthday 🥰
This made me cry tears of happiness. This is what makes America great. No politics, no scandals - just kind people treating a child like their own.
After what they've been through they deserve nothing but happiness. ❤
I’m sure I’m not the only one that cried the entire video. As an employee of Jeep I am so proud of what Jeep Clubs do all across the country for charity.
I broke when I saw the horse but they were tears of happiness so glad this little girls first birthday was a memorable one
This is why I don’t scoff at internet “relationships”. I’ve met some of my bestest friends through the internet. It can be such a wonderful place.
Kindness never goes out of style. Priceless. So glad the party was wildly unbelievable.
How wonderful all that stepped up. So many tears and then chuckles at the 30 vehicles driving by for her birthday and the horses and all the new friends. Such a pretty young lady and a beautiful smile. Now a wonderful trip too. God has good things
Happy birthday 🎉🎉
If Chloe and Charlotte were interested, would they write a book about their story for a charity of their choice? Their mom raised two wonderful daughters, she would be so proud of her eldest daughter looking out for her younger sister, and that Charlotte's favourite part of the party was being able to make new friends. Looks like both Chloe and Charlotte made some new friends!
Agree their mom did such a good job.
Will never forget in 6th grade our lit teacher had us “interview” our parents to make a family tree. The next day she gave us red pens and told us to slash everyone’s names out and write about how we would feel if all our family died.
There was at least 3 kids in my class who had lost family. She had 6 classes of different kids a day. My friend had lost his brother to self-harm right before the school year started. He spent the whole class crying. I hadn’t even lost anyone by then and I was panicking. I couldn’t do it.
Went home and told my mom. She is not a dramatic person and never makes problems for teachers or admin. She and a bunch of other parents freaked the f out and ultimately were confused…. Like wtf would motivate a teacher to do such a “project” with 11-12 yr olds? The “project” suddenly disappeared and we got to watch a pg rated fun movie while the principal sat in the back of the class.
The birthday party was magical!Heart-warming, fun all around and so many genuine people that came and gave some love. I really liked that so many connections were made that day and that Charlotte got this memory that she will never forget and forever cherish. Chloe is an AMAZING person, a GREAT sister and these two are so beautiful and are radiating hapiness or at least positiveness and love
OMG!! If I'd been the mother of a child in this class and learned of the party, I'd be calling Chloe to ask if she needs or wants any help with the preparations!! And YES!! Go to the party - this is how kids make memories!
"I know you're trying to fight it too, I see it in your eyes" in that one little statement, I can tell KC is such a real one
turning 46 soon never had a party ever. Came to realize it's just another day. but happy too see people actually care. Happy for that little one.
Happy 46th Birthday, friend! 🎉
@@ohthelovelypoems thank you
I’m not crying, you’re crying ❤❤🎉
How is this even possible?!?! I don’t understand how this happens a few times a year?! I can’t imagine a community that alienates a child, esp at their birthday! Sis did great outing out video BEFORE day of, for the stragglers to figure it out & show up … or get Kelly Clarkson to respond L💗L
Literally balling here like a baby. This has to be one of the sweetest things ever. I’m so happy, I have faith in this society
The greatest joy in life is to bring a smile to a child's face. Especially one who has gone through such a tragic life-altering event like losing a parent.
Please stop chopping onions. We need more like those who stepped up to help create an unbelievable experience for this sweet little girl. As a child we did family celebrations for our birthday. I had 3 birthday that were the most memorable with the first one being my 7 th birthday. We had gone down to Florida where my Grandparents lived for Christmas and to visit extended family who lived there. My birthday is Jan 5th and my grandma wanted to make my day special. She asked what I wanted for my cake and what I wanted for dinner that night and she made all my favorite things with the help of my mother and her sisters who were also visiting. It was the first time that I had girlie pink decorations and presents in birthday paper and not Christmas paper which always felt like they just used one of my Christmas gifts as my birthday present. Everyone made it my special day which meant the world to me as a 7 year old. I can’t tell you how many times I had to share my birthday celebration and cake with my brother whose birthday is on Jan 7th. I wasn’t being some spoiled brat upset at having to share her birthday. I am far from it. I happen to be the #6 child of the 8 children my parents had and I love and am very close to most of the even with a 12, 10, 9, 5 year age gap between some of them. After that year Mom made a point to use birthday paper and a separate cake for each of us. I think it had happened that way because 3 of us had birthdays on the 2,5,7 and especially so soon after Christmas. The other 2 times were special because I got to have friends over for a sleepover and we got to make homemade pizza and other fun things.
This world is such a dark and cold place. This gave me the hope that there still is goodness in the world. What a bad ass sister/momma
I bawled through this episode 😅😅😅 What a beautiful ending to a precious child’s birthday ❤Thank you Kelly Clarkson for your enormous generosity ❤❤❤
It is so cool to see the positive side of social media.
Love how everybody got together to give this little girl the best birthday party.
It's also extremely admirable how Charlotte's big sister stepped right into the Mom role.
She's showing her little sister that their mother's love lives on.
This is what social media was meant to be.
Chloe is such a great big sister. Charlotte is a very lucky girl. I'm very sorry for your loss Chloe and Charlotte. Hugs!!
I long ago accepted that I am probably a terrible person. One of my favorite pastimes is posting snarky comments (I am 46 years old, but never said that I was an adult) and arguing with people. This clip that young woman posted stopped me dead in my tracks, with tears running down my face.
I hope that wonderful things happen for these girls.
You can just tell that with Kelly Clarkson what you see is what you get. She's down to earth and real. What a great show.
What a awesome story, Happy birthday 🎂 🎁🎊🎈🎀 Charlotte lots of blesses from my family here in Melbourne Australia 🌏 your mum will be so happy 😊 you got to have the best day ever 💜💚💜💝💕💗❤
im 43yrs and the same thing happened to me for my 13thbday but no came. So glad this little girl got to feel so special.
So sorry for your loss. My mum died from colon cancer when I was 8. I know exactly how your sister is feeling and what she's thinking.
Happy Birthday sweet heart ❤️ ❤❤
So true, my son lost his dad to a heart attack when he was 7. It’s just terrible when kids loose their parents at such young ages.
Watching this from the start... was just heart breaking.... but, now? Im soo happy people came through and helped Charlotte make her birthday amazing! To Chloe! You are an amazing big sister and I know ur mom is looking in and is so proud of you.
My mom passed away 6yrs ago and this literally broke my heart
The tears just will not stop. Tears of joy. God please continue to bless these girls 🙏🏽❤️
I Love Happy Endings 💜
What an awesome big sister you are!! Much respect to you and all the people who stepped up to make this little girls birthday a day to remember!!
I love Kelly Clarkson and all she does. This older sister Chloe is an incredible human. So strong, so loving 🥰! Faith in humanity restored!!
The "My Mom should be doing this." broke me.
Heartwarming .
Humans CAN be so lovely ...
Tears of gratitude .
God that smile when the little girl walks out on stage that was absolutely adorable ❤️ the happiness all children deserve after losing a parent or someone the truly loved
I don't get too emotional but this made me cry!😭 I lost my mother 6 years ago and there have been many times that I have been reminded of her and do things that I know would make her smile. Congrats to being blessed with a big sister who went out of her way to make that little girl happy!
I love this story and how all these people that didn't know each other came out to make this little girls day special!!
This is so wonderful. It's so important for kids to feel supported and loved, especially after a tragedy like that. My daughter's daddy passed away when she was ten and she struggled with being bullied in school. I got very sick starting the year after his passing and was unable to do much for her. I had a 16 year old daughter but she had struggles as well and there was no family around to help. Two years later I was hospitalized with sepsis and almost died as well. it took years to get strength back and my baby girl suffered severely at school by both students and teachers alike - she is on the autism spectrum and has cPTSD. Birthdays were hard. I wish something like this would've been possible for her because she's a tenderhearted and sweet girl. Seeing this sweet girl smile is so nice. Her sister is an amazing person and I hope they continue doing well.
Love her sweet and pure smile, such a lovely little angel. And the sister too. Thanks you for sharing joy!
My son invited 6 kids from his kindergarten class last year and not 1 showed up. Thankfully he was young and having his nephew and family/friends kids show up helped.
This is so sweet! I was crying throughout this whole video. I’m sorry for the mum’s death and I hope Chloe is okay, it can’t be easy having to take on a lot. My mum died a few years ago and it was heartbreaking 💔
I live close to Oxford so I’m grateful for that person who went!!
kelly is so genuinely nice I love how much she cares about these stories
I'm SO THANKFUL that you were there for your sister and she was able to have the birthday party she deserved!! 👏👏👏 The pain of losing your Mom just NEVER goes away!! 😞 God bless you both and praying you'll have many more blessings!! LOTS of love, hugs and prayers from Kansas... 🙏💞🙏
Man, in a world filled with so much bad news now a-days, I needed this. God bless that family and those kind strangers.
If it’s a problem with making friends in class I hope the family speaks to the teacher on what he/she is seeing to make sure she is feeling accepted.
I had a son who had muscular dystrophy. This happened a few times during his short life. Other than losing a child, this is one of the hardest things to live through as a parent. I do remember one brithday where three of his friends (all just the sweetest girls) and one boy came to his party. We had a huge hot tub (swim spa) and he was just the happiest l ittle boy in that hot tub with pretty girls all around him. He was sunshine that day. I can't not cry when I watch videos like this.
I'm 53, and I lost my mom 4 yrs ago to lung cancer. Well, this year, my 8 yr old granddaughters birthday wish was to see her Nanna. I have decided that for her birthday, I would start a tradition of her picking a restaurant and an activity instead of having a party because, yeah, there are a lot of mean people out there. But at the same time, there are many people who have a wonderful heart . I am glad her birthday ended up being a wonderful day.
Chloe is such an amazing person, big sister and baker.
