"I am not a weirdo or anything; I was just inspired by another girl that rented a family from Craigslist in California for the holidays," she wrote in the ad posted last week. "I just want one day that I can feel important and special, and like I matter even if I really don't. I have never had a good birthday, so I figure, why not this birthday?"

Carson's story quickly went viral nationally and internationally, leading to an overwhelming number of emails in her inbox. By Friday, she had found a Colorado family to celebrate her birthday with.
