Participate in Surprise Birthday Bash of Colin

A Michigan family is getting attention from all over the world for the surprise birthday celebration of one boy through Facebook page. A desperate mom enlists Facebook users to give her son, who is friendless, a happy birthday through online greetings. The boy’s name is Colin and he doesn’t have any friend to celebrate his 11th birthday.

Colin is a middle schooler who told his mom that there was no point of throwing a birthday party for his birthday as he didn’t have any friends to participate. Lovingly worried mom, Jennifer reacted to his emotional statement with an amazing plan to show him just how he was wrong by creating a Facebook page stating Happy Birthday Colin.

The boy Colin was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder about a year ago which makes him sensitive to things such as lights and sounds which can cause meltdowns. This disorder might have caused to make friendships difficult with other children who don’t understand.

Mother Jennifer told in an interview to Wood TV that, “We were talking about his birthday coming up and I had mentioned it a few times and he said he didn’t want a party. And I said, ‘Why don’t you want a party?” — “Mom, who am I going to invite? I don’t have any friends,’” mother Jennifer recalled Colin saying.

She said that these conversational words broke her heart and decided to reach to adults through social media. She created a Facebook page for people to wish her son Colin a Happy Birthday, nothing extra expected. Some of her friends and their friends may like and post wishing comments which may become a good surprise for her son.

A silly little page to make Colin feel good shared across the world in just two days, within a week it crossed a million likes for Colin. This page just grew boosted like a light in the zero, presently it has 1.6m and there almost a month for Colin’s 11th birthday. Jennifer added that her son is going to have lot of friends after this.

On the other side Colin doesn’t know about the Facebook page and its activity. His mom plans to surprise him with it on March 9th, on the birthday of Colin and record the reaction of her son with a camera. She also said that she opened a PO box for people to send Birthday Greeting Cards for her son.
