A Florida mom was touched after seeing a mysterious young boy playing with her disabled son at a science center in their area. She captured the moment and is now looking for the boy's identity so she can show how grateful she is for the kindness he had shown.
"I would love to thank him," said Katie Myers of West Palm Beach, Fla. "I would just like this child to know how he's impacting the world just by being kind. Also, I'd love his parents to know they have an amazing child and how he's engaging and treating everyone the same," FOX 28 News reported.
Myers, said when her only son Kaden was seven-months-old, doctors detected spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which causes muscles to continuously weaken as time passes by. Since Kaden cannot walk, his mom brings him to West Palm Beach's South Florida Science Center to entertain the toddler.
"At home he doesn't have much room to explore, so we're there almost every day because, to Kaden, it's like his playground," she said. "It's big and has smooth, concrete floors. It's his own, accessible little paradise," according to WHAS11.
"We're there all the time, but we've never had an experience like this."
On Thursday, Myers and her sister brought Kaden to the science center for some playtime. A boy, a little older than Myers' son, was helping the young toddler and shows him around the exhibits.
"Since he's (Kaden's) in a wheelchair, if he drops a ball or toy on the floor, he can't pick it up," she said. "He (the boy) was helping him reach up to grab a ball and put on the device."
"This was extra special because he was just a kid. This boy didn't see Kaden's wheelchair, he just saw Kaden and that's something that doesn't happen often," ABC News reported.
The photo went viral after Myers posted it on Facebook.
To the little boy at the science museum, I don't know who you are, but thank you for being amazing. You let my son play...
