The power of networking and love of parents to a son can move mountains.
In this case, a McDonald’s-themed birthday for one lucky Jerel Anitok, Jr. at Majuro Cooperative School’s third grade was the result.
The parents knew their soon-to-be nine-year old had been craving McDonald’s for three years since relocating to Majuro from California.
A plan went into motion at the end of March: with the right people onboard, items were agreed to be sent from a McDonald’s in Oregon — to include Happy Meal boxes, burger wrappers, French fry cones, cups and straws.
Flat-rate USP box had items in Majuro within two weeks, by which time the parents had already coordinated with famed baker Jojit Tomenio at K&K Island Pride for the finishing touches.
Tomenio wrapped burgers and fries from K&K Supermarket and added a customized McDonald’s cake. The end result was priceless as shown by JJ and classmates.
