Great story but why a Kirby? I freaking hate those!! Should have got him an Electrolux.

As long as it wasn’t an insurance salesman.

The left would laugh at this and say the child should have been aborted. That’s how sick they are.

Meanwhile non-traitor Americans recognize goodness when they see it. This was beautiful.

Makes me wish I could have been there to see this.

“In addition to sending Dylan a soccer ball, a hat and a T-shirt with the Kirby logo...”

I was REALLY glad the story didn’t end there.

Oh man, what a great story! What a sweet mom for setting this up for her son, and how good of the company to respond, and how good of the salesman to give him the vacuum.

I totally understand this mother and the boy.. My Special Grandson Andy has a fetish for locks and keys.. I found a garage sale from a former lock-maker that was selling hundreds of old broken locks and keys..

NOTHING, nothing would ever occupy more enjoyable hours than those useless tools.. The guy had some new ones that he almost gave me when I brought the boy back to meet him..

SPECIAL DAYS AND MEMORIES..

A wonderful story, very heart warming during the dark days of Obama.

Great story.
My daughter has ASD (Autism Spectrum Didorder - Autism), and I'm always amazed at the things she finds interesting, and once something captures her - she obsesses on it.
Parents of ASD kids know what I mean, and properly channeled it's what made Temple Grandin (PhD, animal husbandry, U of Colorado) a world-reknowned expert in her field.

One of the most successful kids in my high school class was a Kirby salesman.

It’s beautiful and points out the lies of the Left. Businesses are made up of real people and they’re good. I bet there are hundreds of similar stories every day, but we never hear them.
