Hundreds of bikers help boy with autism celebrate 10th birthday after less than 5 people RSVP

(ABC News) – Thomas William Edward Karna’s mother, Maranda Karna, sent out invitations to 70 people to come to her son’s 10th birthday party. Less than five people replied, “yes” to the invite.

Stephenie Lovejoy, Maranda Karna’s best friend, decided to turn to social media to help her friend by writing on Facebook a few simple sentences.

“I am creating this event because my friend Miranda invited 70 people to her son Thomas’s birthday and only one person responded,” Lovejoy, 28, who works as a volunteer with the Washington County Heroin Task Force, wrote on a Facebook page she created to invite people to join Thomas’ party. “He has autism and I am making this post to invite all the bikers in the area to come and meet up and show him that he is not different and that he is loved just as much as everyone else.”
