Nothing makes us as parents sadder than watching our children distressed, unable to comprehend why the world can be so harsh.
I don’t know about others, but when my children were small, I did everything I could to make their birthdays wonderfully memorable.
Birthdays should always be celebrated, but I felt it was necessary to give children at least one day a year when the world would practically come to a halt for them. That meant large celebrations, loads of affection, and being encircled by the individuals they loved about the most in the entire world.
That’s why the tale of an 8-year-old child called Austin from Atlanta, Georgia, touched me so deeply…
As per accounts, Austin has had multiple birthday parties where nobody turned up; now, his family is frantically attempting to rally the troops to ensure that this does not occur again.
Bri Sosebee, Austin’s aunt, stated her nephew turns 9 on September 14th. Last year, he didn’t have anybody turn up to his birthday party.
Bri also mentioned that Austin has autism, so the concept of individuals not showing up to celebrate his birthday is difficult for him to comprehend.
He’s disappointed that individuals do not think about him. He’s autistic and doesn’t comprehend, Bri said.
Amber Sosebee, the boy’s mother, adding, he is a fun, sometimes temperamental youngster with a large heart.
People bully him at school, and no one shows up to any of his activities, Bri said. Every child needs to be cherished, and he deserves to be surrounded by friends.
This year, Austin’s family is asking people from all around Georgia to assist them give Austin a memorable birthday. They’re publicly requesting birthday cards to show him how much he’s loved.
Perhaps a few birthday cards and he’ll know there are people who want to send him something, who understand, Bri said.
Anyone wishing to send Austin a card for his eighth birthday could do so at 7830 Smith Farm Road in Cumming, Georgia.
Awesome! I wish Austin a very happy birthday this year. I can only imagine how horrible his family’s situation must be.
