Make one teen's birthday something special by mailing her a card

There's just something about getting a birthday card in the mail.

Teenager Hallee was heartbroken when no friends came to her 18th birthday party last year. Her cousin Rebecca Lyn wrote a Facebook post asking friends to make Hallee's 19th birthday amazing by mailing her cards.

Lyn started out her post by describing some of her cousin Hallee's most awesome qualities. "Hallee is funny, sweet, caring, smart, an athlete, a jigsaw puzzle champion, a wonderful student and a best friend to all," she wrote.

"She is also a person who just happens to have Autism. She has never let that small detail define who she is as a person-which is why I refuse to use it as something to describe her," Lyn's post said. 

Lyn explained that not one friend showed up to Hallee's birthday party last year. 

She wrote, "My cousin is a beautiful young woman who will always have the mind of a child...so as you can imagine, she was heartbroken and beyond sad. She was hurt..." 

She then goes on to ask readers to send her cousin Hallee birthday cards.

"But you can help make this years birthday incredible! I would love to flood her mailbox with birthday cards, from all over," said Lyn. "Hal loves getting mail- this would be the best birthday gift she could ask for."

Lyn's post has already been shared over 135,000 times, and Hallee's birthday isn't even until July. 

You can mail your own card to Hallee at this Maine address:

Hallee Sorenson

Hopefully her birthday will be as magical as this:
