Willow Grove teenager Kareem was filled with joy over the weekend as dozens of people showed up to help him celebrate his birthday and make new friends.

Last week, Kareem and his mother Mary Ann shared their story with CBS News Philadelphia, hoping the community might help him feel less alone.

Our Wakisha Bailey followed up and attended the party to see Kareem surrounded by people who came to share the day with him.
