On Wednesday, Charlotte's friends, teachers and community surprised her with a parade. People decorated their cars, dropped off gifts and even brought their dogs.

Even though the parade was for Charlotte, people left with gifts of their own.

"I heard from quite a few people, 'that was the best thing I did all week. Thank you for getting me out of the house and making me drive down your road," explained Bitner.
