Hundreds of visits to the girl’s 15th birthday party after no one she invited showed up

A night that could have been a sad memory for a young woman ends up being a big and happy celebration, thanks to the concerned locals who saved the day.

The teenager, who has only been named Jessica, celebrated her 15th birthday, aka quinceanera. This is a bigger problem than most birthdays, as in Mexican culture, the age of 15 is said to mark the turning of a woman’s age.

Despite inviting 100 guests, however, only 10 showed up that day.

The incident happened in Tampico, a city in the state of Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico.

Jessica decorated the room, chose the dress, chose the music and had her parents around. However, with no friends around to share the event, the schoolgirl was devastated.

That’s when party planner ‘Yuli Medina’ posted on Facebook seeking help, changing the day – and Jessica’s spirit – in the process.

Seeing the boy’s mother comforting her about her irritation gave the hotel employee an idea, and he took to social media to see what he could do.

His post read: ‘Girls and boys, a favor. We are inviting you to Jessica’s quinceanera party, she is very sad, no one shows up… Come and have fun, your presence will make a girl happy! ‘

The post quickly gained attention and within minutes, people started showing up at the party.

Most of those in attendance were locals, but they were also attended by local singers, comedians and shop owners who wanted to give the girl a birthday present on her big day.

The party turned out to be more than what Jessica and her family expected, despite its rough start.

They had a DJ slated to play the music, who was quickly replaced by live bands and stand-up comedians.
