Planning a birthday celebration for your child and having no one show up is a terrible situation for any parent.

Over the years, we’ve written about a handful of these situations, and they’re all dreadful to describe.

Sure, there are worse worries for parents to worry about, but it’s devastating to think about the hurt and anguish caused to a child when their classmates and friends refuse to attend their party.

Sadly, this is the situation one mother is in now that his classmates at school have refused to attend his 4th birthday celebration because he is vegan.

The heartbreaking tale, according to reports, originates in Queensland, Australia, where four-year-old Malachi is preparing to celebrate his fifth birthday.

However, his ‘friends’ have apparently declined the offer since Malachi’s mother, Angel Craine, baked a vegan cake for his party.

Two weeks before Malachi’s party, invitations were distributed, but his mother received absolutely no RSVPs.

Even worse, it’s been reported that Malachi has been bullied at his school as a result of the vegan cake.

The vegan community is supporting a four-year-old child whose mother claims that his family’s lifestyle choice resulted in no RSVPs for his birthday party.

‘They’ve all bullied him and said they won’t come unless he has cow in his cake,’ Angel told 7News.

For Malachi’s upcoming birthday, which would feature a Pokémon theme, the mother stated that she had intended to bake a chocolate vegan cake.

‘I just can’t believe that kids his age already bully vegans,’ she continued. Malachi was disappointed that no one wanted to be his friend or visit, but he is a tough guy.

Malachi, who has always liked animals and visits to the nearby farm, has been a vegan since January, according to the Daily Mail.

When the invitations to the party went unanswered, Angel issued a need for assistance on the Vegans of Australia Facebook group.

It seems that his pals are continually being disrespectful to him about being vegan and refuse to attend his birthday if he has a vegan cake.

So, I’m wondering if anyone on Brisbane’s northside who has vegan children would like to attend his fifth birthday.

Thankfully, Angel’s post received great feedback, and as of this writing, 12 members’ kids are expected to attend Malachi’s fifth birthday party.

He’s ecstatic to meet others who share his hobbies and values, Angel added.I just don’t see how somebody could be so mean! What are these children’s parents doing?
