Single mom Sue Simpson is once again putting a call out for birthday cards for her son Jessie.

The pair requests cards from the community every Christmas and every July when Jessie’s birthday comes around.

Simpson says it gives the two of them something to do together.

Jessie suffered life-altering injuries after being attacked with a metal baseball bat in 2016. Now wheelchair bound, his mom is always looking for ways to bring a smile to Jessie’s face and she says reading the hundreds of cards that come in twice a year does just that.
