Thursday 16th July
Huge card appeal launched to celebrate an autistic child's fourth birthday. The campaign helped to ensure that one soon-to-be four-year-old does not have to celebrate his birthday alone this year by launching their own 'Birthday Card Appeal'.
Bilal Shah, a volunteer with the InTouch Foundation, first heard about Matthew's situation on Facebook, and after contacting the family arranged for the appeal to begin. “I got in touch with Matthew's sister first of all via a Facebook group two weeks ago to say I wanted to send a birthday card down,” Bilal explained. “I then told the team at InTouch about the situation and we came up with the idea to send a whole mass of cards to show there are people out there who care. Kids should not be alienated because of a disability and that is why we are so committed to this appeal.”
