Rebecca Lyn shared the photo of her cousin, Hallee, who celebrated her 18th birthday alone in Bangor, Maine. Hallee sent invitations to her classmates, but no one showed up to her party at a bowling alley.
“Hallee is funny, sweet, caring, smart, an athlete, a jigsaw puzzle champion, a wonderful student, and a best friend to all,” Rebecca wrote on Facebook about her cousin.
This year, just before Hallee’s 19th birthday, Rebecca was determined to give her a celebration she would cherish forever.
