She’s so humble. So loved and lovably. What a blessing to watch.

Mariah is such an amazing human. What a wonderful sister bond you have

Happy Birthday young lady. Just think, you are 62 years younger than me and I admire your will to improve every day. You have a wonderful mother and sister. I will follow your progress on KZfaq as long as I can. I am so inspired by you.

Here I am just now turned 42 and this 18 yr old has inspired me more than ever. Girl you are so strong, happy, encouraging, inspiring young lady and I know there are hard days with tears, but dang it. You are IT WOMAN!!! YOU GOT THIS. more than I do as a 42 yr old!!

She lives with such Joy and gratitude.

Very creative of your family to do this for your birthday. It's like having an advent calendar!

I think, it's a brilliant idea with the paper cups. So interactive. Makayla had so much fun. And we had fun watching her unboxing all those goodies 🤗😍

This is so heartwarming. I've had some emotionally painful birthdays in the past, but this is really sweet to watch. I was born just a few days before you, October 8th. Happy belated birthday Makayla.

The wall of little boxes to open each day before your Birthday, reminds me of a German Christmas tradition of opening a small window on a solid background of paper of 25 windows, until you reach the 25th day for Christmas. Happy Birthday.

Mak you are a present to us all with your courageous,positive encouraging attitude. Thanks for being the gift of light and joy that we need. I pray that your special day was filled with lots of memories with you and your family. Happy birthday.🎉

*I swear, Mariah is the best sister ever.* *Mak, I hope you enjoy many many more birthdays, cuz remember, GOD'S NOT DONE* *I am in love with your channel, like I said before, I'm a paralyzed amputee, only I'm by myself in a safe house because I was in a ABUSIVE relationship, so I haven't had the best year, maybe 2023 will be better for me*

Your entire family is the cutest!

This was such a good little OT activity as well! It was great seeing you get better each day at getting the paper out (:

I'm so happy for her family dynamic. I pray for you every day and have for over a year. . Your going to do great things . I love watching you grow in your new life. Happy new Year Makayla 💞

That painting is AWESOME!!

You have such a kind and humble soul. Keep up the great work!!!! ❤

Something we've done for a wrapping paper trick is wrap a sturdy piece of ribbon or twine under the paper. It's taped down to the box with the first edge of the paper, wrapped around with the paper, and comes out with a loop at the other edge of the paper. Then the person unwrapping just has to pull the loop and it rips the whole thing open with one nice swoop! It works great for little kids, anyone with lower dexterity, and really, it's just pretty fun in general!

Like an advent calendar to your 18th. What a clever idea!

To the cheerist of cheerleaders HAPPY BIRTHDAY 📣🎂🎉

I like how she did those balloon flowers very stylish and pretty

Loved watching everyday. Makayla, Happy 18th. I pray this year is full of wonderful surprises and many answered prayers!!!

Happy Birthday Makayla ❤❤❤🎁🎁🎂🎂

SO HAPPY FOR YOUR MAKAYLA! I wish i was as young as you and turning 18! I turned 36 today and your positivity and happiness helps me to want to keep going on even on tough days like these i did not get a single thing from anyone and i think that is due in large to my own defects and being very standoffish to other people and suffer from extreme social anxiety. I’m so happy you had a awesome bday

Happy birthday squirt. Keep powering on. Jenn I'm so proud of you. May God bless you and your family. Daz

I'm a little late, but I hope you had a great bday and I hope 18 is an amazing year for you. This was so creative! Love this idea!
