Who loves getting a birthday card in the mail? Well you can help create some excitement for young Beachmere local Phoenix, who has a very special birthday coming up!
It’s time for double digits for Phoenix who turns 10 on July 4. His family is reaching out to the community with a challenge to see how many birthday cards he will receive. His family did this for Phoenix’s fourth birthday and received 39 cards. Can we beat this record? (It’s already looking super promising!).
If you think Phoenix looks familiar, chances are you may have seen him before. He loves to visit Bribie as often as he can. He lives with Autism, is non-verbal with ADHD and loves adventure. A lot of people would remember him from earlier this year when he went missing on Bribie and was later found safe and sound at the Butterfly House.
If you haven’t seen Phoenix’s Facebook page The Adventures of Phoudini, be sure to check it out.
“We set up this page to help educate people on Autism (specifically non-verbal Autism) and advocate for all who are different in their own unique way,” his mum Jayme-Lee said. “You can follow Phoenix on his journey through life, share in his achievements and support him through his struggles. Phoenix turns 10 on July 4 and we decided to set a challenge to see how many people would send him a card to celebrate this big birthday milestone! “The outpouring of kindness so far has been overwhelming. This past year has been a tough one for Phoenix, so the love and support that everyone has shown Phoenix and our family, will never be forgotten, or taken for granted.”
