If there was ever one reason to love social media, this amazing story of a teen and his birthday would be it. Odin Camus, a teen from Peterborough, Ontario, was looking forward to his 13th birthday party but his joy turned to sadness when he found out nobody from his school was attending. When his mother, Melissa Camus, found out that none of the guests’ RSVP’d, she posted a message on Facebook asking her friends to send her son a text message to his brand new smartphone.
Thanks to kind souls all over the world, Odin Camus received over 4000 text messages from all over the world and that was just the beginning. According to CHEX Television, within hours, #odinbirthday became the number one trending topic on Twitter and celebrities, politicians and kind-hearted people all over the world wished him a happy birthday.
