A group of Arkansas State Troopers gave a ten-year-old boy a day to remember after no one in his class showed up for his birthday party. 

Toxey, of Hot Springs Village, sent out invitations to all 21 of his classmates, but not a single one attended his tenth birthday party on April 2.

After his mom, Angela Andrews, posted a heartbroken message about the party on Facebook, four state troopers decided to surprise the boy two days later on April 4  by showing up at his front door.  

'Scared and at the same time trying to figure out why they were here,' Toxey told THV 11 of the moment he saw a group state troopers standing at his door.

But he didn't have to worry, because the group came bearing gifts and played with Toxey all day.  

'They showed me all the keys to do the sirens and the horn. I also got to see the cage with the dog in it,' Toxey said. 

Not only did they show Toxey the patrol cars, but they also brought him a cake and played a game of basketball.  

'They had come to give me all that stuff and make up their own birthday party for me,' Toxey said.

The gifts brought for the boy ranged from video games to a Frisbee and a razor scooter.  

'I cried a little bit because they did that for me,' Toxey said. 'If I am remembering right, this is the only birthday that I have had with people coming.'

Arkansas State Police identified the officers as Cpl David Frothman and troopers Terry Sawyer, Kyle Sheldon, Brandon Cook and Tim Callison, according to WHIO.

Andrews said she was 'heartbroken' after none of her son's classmates showed up for his weekend party. 

'Just heartbroken and helpless. It's the last thing you want to feel for your kid, that no one cared enough to come,' Andrews told THV 11.

She hopes that her son's party serves as a message to other parents.  

'On Saturday night, I knew no one was coming, and I posted on Facebook just kind of like an outcry to parents. Just please if your kids get invited to birthdays take them,' Andrews said.  

After the state troopers left on Monday, Andrews posted a long thank you on Facebook for what they did for her son. 

'I don't even know where to start because thank you just doesn't seem good enough!' she wrote. 'After I made a post Saturday about Toxey being disappointed that no one came to his birthday party, an Arkansas State Trooper heard about the post.

'What ensues is the stuff dreams are made of. This afternoon after Toxey got home from school, a caravan of 5 state troopers pulled up at our house, K-9 included. 

'Not only did they bring him a birthday cookie cake, but they also brought him all kinds of presents, let him play with Rino, the K-9, and play with the sirens in their cars. 

'They ate his cake with him and played basketball with him. All out of the goodness of their hearts. They made this sweet baby's day, his year!! 

'Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to repay the kindness you showed my family today!! Come on friends, let's make these guys famous! 

'They deserve to be recognized for the wonderful people they are!! Thank you Arkansas State Troopers!!!'
