Strangers To Attend Water Balloon Party For Boy With No Friends

Nine-year-old Camden Eubank in the USA has Apraxia of speech and has trouble making friends.

When he asked his parents if he could have a water balloon fight for his birthday party, they were worried that no one would attend. 

They took to Facebook to ask for help, and boy did they get a response!

Before the Facebook invite, the guest list included his sister, her friend and "some cousins". Camden did have an older friend who "recently decided he's too cool to hang out with a 'little kid that can't talk right'".

So far the page has been liked over 2,500 times and the town of Troutville, including the local Fire Brigade, are coming together to make Camden's day special.

"I'm going to bring my 7 year old and my 3 year old! Let's make this little boy's birthday so special," wrote Courtney Furrow on Facebook. 

For those that can't make it, gifts and cards have been sent to Camden from all over the world.

A Go Fund Me Page has been set up to help cover the costs of the party.

His family wrote on their fundraising page, "The emails and stories people have sent are truly touching and I know we're not alone and Camden WILL have the birthday party of his dreams."
