Natalie Te Paa, a musician who moved across the planet to pursue her singing career, is blind. So, to congratulate her on her big move, the staff of a restaurant in London prepared a happy birthday wish in Braille! The workers of London's Luciano by Gino D'Acampo did it all themselves. As soon as they found out Te Paa would have her birthday at their restaurant, they found out how to write "Happy Birthday" in Braille. Then, they wrote it in chocolate!
Then, the crew and Claire Sara, the woman's friend and producer, watched as Te Paa received her amazing "Happy Birthday!" message. At first, she had no idea what was going on. When she first gets the plate, it's clear the young singer has no idea what's going on. Then she starts touching the plate, letting her fingers trace the dots. That's when Te Paa realized that the dots are not random after all - bringing a smile to the young woman's face!
"My mind was blank for a second and then I was like, 'Is this in Braille?'" Ta Paa told The Today Show afterward. "I've never had anything happen like that before. It was wild. They just really did go above and beyond." Now, the video has gone viral!

As of this writing, the video of Ta Paa, recorded by Sara, has garnered over 20 million views! In the video, the young blind woman also named the three servers who treated her so well. "Three angels -Valeria, Francesca, and Leo," Te Paa captioned the video. Meanwhile, restaurant manager Giovanni Galluccio explained that taking care of people on their special occasions. When dining at Luciano by Gino D'Acampo, no one needs to worry about the quality of their experience.
Likewise, TikTok users also responded to the video incredibly well. "This is so special. Thank you for sharing," one comment reads. "Communication should be a universal right," another one read, with a third user saying: "They should teach us this and sign language at school." Many loved that the restaurant decided to be so inclusive when it came to those with disabilities. Te Paa also loved the reactions. "The fact that people have responded so much and so well to it just shows how much the world needs kindness right now, how much the world needs a message of hope, needs to see people doing things and going above and beyond for each other," she stated.
"So take heart despite how broken the world is right now," the viral video caption reads, "true kindness still exists."
