‘Stranger Things’ cast stand up for Filipino kid who got stood up by his classmates on his birthday
Ayen Alambat on March 18 shared photos of her brother Aaron making an ace impression of Eleven from "Stranger Things" with an incredible assortment of food in the background.
Aaron, clearly a fan of the Netflix original series, was making the best of the moment as the eight classmates he invited for his birthday party stood him up. As expected of a badass Filipino big sister, Ayen called out the "punks" who tried to ruin Aaron's big day.

Twitter was not having it and, despite the bad rep social media gets nowadays, a community showed up to throw an online party for Aaron — and the "Stranger Things" cast were among the attendees.
Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Shannon Purser, and Cara Buono all tweeted out support for Aaron. Eleven and Barb at your party? As Cara, who plays Nancy and Mike Wheeler's mom Karen said: "Wow, those kids missed out!"
