A local mom reached out to me over the weekend.  Her son, Brandon, is turning 16 at the end of the month.  Brandon is a sweet teen who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, a form of Autism.  Due to severe anxiety, Brandon has to be home-schooled.  To help Brandon celebrate turning 16, she would like to collect as many birthday cards that she can.

Can you help mom?  Read mom's message:

Hello family and friends my son Brandon's 16th birthday is coming up on Oct. 24th, some of you know my son has a form of Autism called Aspergers. One of the worst parts of this for Brandon is the severe social anxiety he deals with on a daily basis. Brandon is home schooled due to his anxiety around people. Unfortunately we have not been able to give Brandon a birthday party with friends because he hasn't been able to make any friends and we have very little family that live near us. What I'm asking from all of you is to please send Brandon a card for his birthday just so he knows that on this one day he is thought of. I love my son more than I could ever explain he is the youngest of my 3 kids and my only boy. Please help me make this day special for my son Brandon. Please share this post so maybe we can get friend's from all over to help make Brandon's 16th birthday a special one. Thank you for taking the time to read this :) Anyone wanting to send a card please send to this address:
