They Tried To Pay For Their Kid’s Party. What A Waitress Said Brought Mom To Tears.

There’s no denying that the world we live in can be cruel, but every once in a while, a kind stranger comes along and renews our faith in humanity.

Jolie Welling and her family recently came to this realization when they took her daughter, Sofia, out to an Applebee’s restaurant in Washington, Pennsylvania. When a waitress approached their table and made an announcement, the party of 16 began tearing up.

It was Sofia’s sixth birthday, so they spared no expense on appetizers, drinks, and full-course meals, although they brought their own desserts.
