Our hopes were high at the beginning of 2020, but about a month or two into the year we were forced to stay at home as COVID-19 began wreaking havoc worldwide. With social distancing guidelines put in place by the CDC, countless events and festivities were either postponed or cancelled in an effort to get a hold on this pandemic.

A car enthusiast since he was young, Brett's heart lies with pure American muscle cars, according to his aunt. "Ever since he was just a little guy, he would just grab magazines in the grocery stores. They were always muscle cars," his aunt said.
Friends and family still wanted to make his birthday as special as possible.

"The car community is giving, if it's a special cause like this," one member said about being a part of the birthday festivities. With many people finding alternative ways to celebrate important dates like these at home, Brett's "stay at home" birthday celebration may have been the best one yet.
