As a mother, you’d do just about anything to make sure your kids are safe, healthy and, of course, happy. It’s engrained in you from the time they take their first breath, because when your child is happy, your heart is happy.
Bonnie Kandel knows this as well as any mom, especially because her son, Leif, has autism.
As she explains it in this viral Facebook post:
“My son, Leif, has autism. He is a picky eater and has a hard time letting things go when he gets fixated on something.”
So when a number of Leif’s classmates started playing with the newest McDonald’s Happy Meal toy, Bonnie knew that a trip to the golden arches was in their near future.
“After a few weeks we ventured out in search of the much discussed happy meal. We ordered and asked about the coveted Team Titans toys that were displayed on a kiosk.”
To their dismay, the restaurant was all out of the toys—none left. They had moved onto Batman toys, and Leif was devastated.
