Grandville Teen with Autism Hopes for Cards from Public for his Birthday [Video]
A teenager in Grandville with autism has one wish for his 16th birthday coming up in less than two weeks on March 4.
Andrew Didyk is hoping for birthday cards from across West Michigan.
Andrew's Mom, Sarah Crofoot made a Facebook page asking the community to share some love with Andrew on his birthday this year.
She told Fox 17
"He has high functioning autism and oftentimes that can make social cues hard to understand. His birthday will come and we don't hear back from kids. It's a tough time... I made this page in the hopes of making Andrew's birthday as special as he is."
Andrew says,
"I'm really hoping to get a lot of people that actually send me messages saying things like, 'I hope your birthday is the best of your life' or something like that."
So far, Andrew's Mom says he's received 236 cards, and even some from other countries. Let's get Andrew as many birthday cards as possible!
