VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Hundreds of boxes of a limited-edition pasta now fill the home of a family in Nanaimo, following a plea to help their autistic son.
Reed Botwright put out a call on social media last week when he and his wife could not track down any more boxes of Star Wars Kraft Dinner, one of the only foods their six-year-old son Everett will eat.
Everett is on the autism spectrum, and Botwright says he has issues with the taste, smell, and texture of many foods, so his parents were ecstatic when he specifically requested the cheesy noodles.
The family has now received more than 500 boxes of the special KD over the past week.
Botwright says they have also messages of support and offers of help from all around the globe.
