Kade Foster was excited to celebrate his 11th birthday earlier this month, but his birthday party didn’t go as planned. When none of Kade’s friends showed up to his party, his dad, Jason, tweeted, “That hurt. I’m asking my Twitter friends to show him some love today. If you have a minute, please send him a birthday wish.”
Kade is a big Maple Leafs hockey fan, so his dad tagged two players – Mitch Marner and John Tavares – in the hopes that they would wish his son a happy birthday. In fact, Kade’s birthday was Maple Leafs themed, complete with a Maple Leafs cake.
