It’s 2023 now. Rema Kabore is from South Carolina. She has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and was a very, very weak baby. Surprisingly, she has just celebrated her 50th birthday. 

“Her doctor did not expect her to survive(生存) until she was one,” Rema’s mother Patricia said. Rema wasn’t able to walk until the age of 13. She added that great care, support, and acts of kindness from others as the reasons Rema is doing so well today.

On Rema’s recent birthday, a family friend planned a surprise party at a restaurant in Greenville. Once Rema arrived, a car full of people jumped out to show their support and have lunch with the family. One of the young men who worked there went in the back and got his saxophone(萨克斯管). He played a piece of music for Rema. The owner who came over who had a beautiful voice sang happy birthday to her.

Patricia said as the party was wrapping up, another act of kindness happened before the group could leave the restaurant. A woman from a different group decided to put the cherry on top of the cake. “They paid for the birthday lunch for all eight of us,” Patricia said. “I almost cried.”

Patricia has tried to find the woman by posting her kindness on Facebook. “I said to the woman whose name I don’t even know, if you read this reach out to me because I would like to tell you what a difference you made in the life of a young woman who celebrated a life that she was not necessarily supposed to live to see,” Patricia said.
