Max's dad said he wanted his son's birthday this year to be a party for everyone so he reached out to Autism BC for help and throw a bash to remember.
A young boy whose birthday party made the news for the wrong reasons last year is now getting a birthday party to remember this year.
David Chen, a dad of four, told Global News last year that they wanted to throw a party for his son Max, who has autism, on his sixth birthday.
He said they wanted to have an all-class party so they picked a venue and sent out invitations.
“Unfortunately, we got one person that said yes, two people that said no and 16 that didn’t say anything,” Chen said. “It was kind of an empty feeling.”
Chen didn’t want to blame anyone for what happened but this year Max is going to have a birthday to remember.
He said he wanted to host an inclusive celebration for all kids so he reached out to Autism BC for help.
They are putting on a huge party, with Max’s class attending and 40 other families.
The event is being held at 365 Funday in Richmond and everyone will get a present and their own cupcake with a candle.
