When Kyle Jauregui recently went to pick up his younger sister's birthday cake, he met with a bittersweet surprise.
On arriving at the baker's, he learnt that Madison's cake had already been paid for—by a complete stranger. It was a touching act of kindness, but, as it turned out, not a random one. The cake had been paid for by a lady known simply as "McKenna's mum"—as part of a gesture she had been making for a while, and for a heartbreaking reason.
While Madison was set to celebrate turning 11, McKenna Jodell Fox would have turned ten on the same day. McKenna was only nine months old in 2008，when she was crushed by a falling TV set as her family prepared to move house.
It's a painful occasion for her mum, but one she has transformed into something positive. The cake she bought was accompanied by a card which read as follows：
"Dear Birthday Girl Family,
In honour of my daughter's 10th birthday, I have chosen your birthday cake to pay for. Each year I do this random act of kindness because I am unable to buy my daughter a cake of her own. Today is her big double-digit birthday. Please enjoy your day. "
By Kyle's own admission, the whole family was left speechless. "We just want to say thank you to McKenna's mom," he wrote, "and wish McKenna a happy birthday. There's still good in this world. "
