Austin Osner, a fifth-grader from Fairfield, OH, only had one heartbreaking wish for the holidays: to get some more friends.
The 10-year-old has been having trouble making companions at his new school. Because Osner was born without a right forearm, many other students are scared of him, according to his mother, Kristin McGinn.
"I tell them I was pretty much born like that and most of the times they believe me, but sometimes they do not," Austin told Cincinnati’s WLWT. "Sometimes it doesn't really affect me, but most of the time it can really snap me in half of my feelings."
Like the boy who got to live out his Batman dream thanks to strangers, Austin's prayers were thankfully answered.
McGinn shared her son’s Christmas wish with her Facebook friends and it quickly gained traction. A Facebook page, “Austin’s Wish,” was set up and strangers from all over started sending their support for the young boy.
A doctor even reached out asking to help Austin in an incredible way, as you’ll see in the video below.
"It's just mind-blowing that somebody would do that for me, out of all the kids in the world with disabilities, you would pick me,” Austin said.
Please SHARE to keep Austin's wish going!
