Shatner and Retailer Make Sure Boy With Autism Always Has Favorite Food
Everett Botwright refused to eat anything if it wasn't Star Wars Kraft Dinners – so when he finally ran out of meals, social media stepped in to help.
Even though his only relationship to Lydia was sometimes picking her up for school, Tom wanted to make her life a little easier by building her a new ramp.
Thomas Mitchell couldn't stand to see Lydia struggle with her aluminum ramp every morning – so he built her a new one instead.
Tom is a mechanic working in Clarksville, Tennessee who is sometimes employed to be a substitute driver on the school buses he fixes.
Because of her wheelchair, Lydia struggles with the stone steps in front of her house every morning. Though she has a ramp, it isn't long enough to reach the top step.
So Tom called Verna and offered to build a new ramp for their house on Sunday. She joyously accepted.
True to his word, Tom and some of his friends used lumber donated by the hardwood store to build a brand new wooden ramp on the side of the Despain's house.
"It's those little things that people take for granted," Verna told FOX5. "And maybe I didn't even realize my predicament, because I'm so used to doing it solo."
