This video documents a heartwarming surprise organized by an Arizona community for 16-year-old Julia Mitchell, who is undergoing treatment for bone cancer [00:00]. As a gesture of support for her 16th birthday, the community organized a parade while she was resting outside [00:06], [00:20].
The surprise was particularly meaningful because Julia had been working at Subway when she was 15 to save money for a car, but her cancer diagnosis forced her to stop working [00:26], [00:32]. The community's gift of a new car provided her with a much-needed morale boost [00:16].
Julia, who was overwhelmed with emotion and stated she was at a loss for words [00:10], [00:44], is expected to complete her cancer treatment in April [00:44]. She plans to get her driver's license once she finishes her treatment and rings the ceremonial bell [00:49].
