Truckers Stage Mass Convoy For Lonely Boy W.O. Friends to Celebrate His Birthday
Truckers Stage Mass Convoy For Lonely Boy With No Friends to Celebrate His Birthday...
The lorry drivers have rallied after seeing a post from the 'truck obsessed' boys' mum who said her son had no friends to invite to his eighth birthday.
BBC NEWS 7 JUL 2023
A truck ‘obsessed’ seven-year-old boy with ‘no friends’ to invite to his birthday is in for a big surprise this weekend when a huge convoy of lorry drivers will turn up to help him celebrate his big day.
New Zealand youngster Oliver Johnson, from Hamilton, caught the attention of the nation’s big rig workers after a heartbreaking post from his mother Katherine went viral.
In the Facebook post Katherine, known as Kassie, wrote: “Looking for a truck driver to help a little boy he has no friends and no one to invite to his party he is a wonderful boy.” (sic)
The post continued that the family would pay $50 NZ dollars to anyone who would drive Oliver around the block in a lorry.
She said Oliver was feeling “lonely” and the ride in the wagon would “make him smile”, the New Zealand Herald reports.
