Truck Drivers Surprise Boy For His Birthday

When it comes to birthdays, we probably all remember one or two special parties throughout the years. It was either at a unique place or you received a thoughtful gift, but you can still remember the details of that day. I have a feeling that Dakota "Bubba" Cadd’s 16th birthday is going to be one of those special days.

Bubba has cerebral palsy and Dandy-Walker syndrome. One of his favorite pastimes is sitting outside his house along Wisconsin Highway 26 and watching the truckers go by. Each time, he hopes that they will honk their horn. So when his birthday came around, his mother hoped to do something extra special for this boy.

The idea was sparked by a small act of kindness from one of the truck drivers. His mom noticed a bag on the ground near where Bubba would sit. “I realized that somebody had taken the time to stop on the highway and throw this package for my son over the five-foot fence." She posted on Facebook to try and find the kind truck driver and the post went viral. Soon, she was in contact with Mark King.

He said, "I've always had a soft spot for children in wheelchairs, probably because I grew up with a sister. She was handicapped." Mark helped Bubba’s mom organize thousands of people and hundreds of truck to come out for this special boy’s birthday and I think this is going to go down as one of the best parties ever. How incredible that all of these strangers would step up for this sweet boy in the best way.
