Imgur, let's do what we do. I just came across this post. I know there are lots of great people here. The Christmas exchanges are always fun. Let's help this girl with some amazing birthday cards!!

Sorry they're images. Posting from my phone.
tl:dr - No one came to an autistic girls 18th birthday. Cousin is asking for birthday cards for her 19th in July. Lets be awesome together! :)
Edit: Thanks for getting this to FP. I really hope she gets awesome cards from the Imgur community. Totally gonna include a giraffe on my card :)

Honestly, if this happened to me, the last thing I would want would be for it to go viral
mackenca
This is going to end badly
bob1967
+1 because I couldn't leave someone being nice on -1.

My daughter is autistic and this is a fear I have, we do our own thing to celebrate her birthday. But I'll be sending a card.
wealthychef
bought a card!
defnotdonaldtrump
Would give my paycheck for a picture of what this girl receives. My guess is a kitten, raunchy card, and a plastic BBC
TwistedAttitudes
Hopefully they preview all of the items she receives just in case. On a slightly unrelated note part of the address is "Bangor Me" ?
NightshiftRRT
Happened to a friends daughter. I promised then to always go to party's my kids got invited to.
SmackGodTheMagnificent

When I turned 10 I had a sleep over and the girls locked me outside of my own house. I never had a bday party again. Bleh
CoCoKunt
Geez that's brutal as hell.
MaximusRyan
Being from Maine I'd totally let her hang out with my wife and I on her 19 th. We'd show up for the party

Anyone wanna carpool from Portland?

You're awesome, seriously, your comment warms my heart
theraininspainfallsmainlyontheplain
50 kids. Kids from my class who hated me and their siblings. They wanted pizza we were paying for. Still hated me.
theraininspainfallsmainlyontheplain
My brother and I shared bdays growing up. One year no one came. Next year parents said you could bring siblings, in our age group 1/2
KingStruggleSnuggle
I've only ever had one birthday party that anyone actually came to, And it was the year I survived a suicide attempt, I feel for her..
FrenchRatBastard
This is from a town two hours north from where I used to live (not bad in Maine standards). Do it for the gal!
Shadowgli
One of my friends knows her Mother, he just said they have received ~10,000 cards and Gifts.. Post office had to send a dedicated mail truck
Shadowgli
Good work Good Guy Imgur <3
PieDestroya
I feel like we're missing something.
noyougofuckyourself
Hey @OP, what's she into? Batman, Harry Potter, science??
DPCerberusBlaze
The address tho?
chiplizard
There's a link to the post below the pictures. I believe I saw the address there.
yourbassist
A couple cards popped up in my break room today for her.
Proxymanity
It's funny how you describe these people as friends...
JBecktheProducer
Third time I have seen this...
Shepsus
1st time I have. Good things are the best reposts.
JBecktheProducer
That is all well and good but the last one said "I haven't seen this posted yet" how could you miss it. And it is all over facebook
JuniorChipmunk
Honestly haven't been on in a bit so haven't seen it. But main thing is this girl gets awesome cards :)
Shepsus
Meh. Either way, I don't find it annoying. I haven't seen it on FB, first time seeing it here. I plan to send a card. All well and good.
DownvotesMakeMeMoist
Op... you are a moist owl.
LadyNoHeart
When I was 10 I had a party at a skate arena. 1 out of 15 people showed up and my only gift was stolen. Worst birthday ever.
LadyNoHeart
I also have Aspergers and someone else was having a pool party that day. They all went to her party instead.
MizzAzure
Please tl;dr
UrBoyBazz
????????????????????
MizzAzure
What are you expressing by the series of question marks ?
RulesOfImgur
TL;dr.. person's friends said they would co.e to her party, they didn't. Cousin asks for help to make her feel better for her next d-day
MizzAzure
Thanks ! :)
autocolonel
its someone claiming that nobody came to a girls birthday party because she is autistic. I cant imagine that being true.
chiplizard
It actually happens way too often.
timberrrrrrr
Thats not really what they're saying. Theyre saying a)no one came and b)She is autistic. Correlation doesnt equal causation
HypnagogicHallucinations
Well, I didn't make it to her birthday. Were you at her birthday?
autocolonel
i was not invited, if i was and said i would come, i would have been there
KMF3967
Believe it. Why make that up? To get a bunch of birthday cards?
autocolonel
to gt a bunch of like farming, it was on facebook after all
MizzAzure
Thank you :)
autocolonel
you're welcome? or did i not read the sarcasm?
MizzAzure
I have weird type of seizures that give me the same type of symptoms as a severe attention deficit. Sincerely appreciated your tl;dr. :)
autocolonel
oh, you're welcome then.
rubbarz
still havent learn that posting where you live on the internet is bad.
Shepsus
Meh. I would HOPE people would be nicer nowadays. And most assholes are lazy assholes.
rubbarz
This would have to include the people on this girls facebook too. Hopefully she doesnt get hurt but never know
DotSlashNatalie
Do you have any actual proof that posting your address will have people do bad things to you?
rubbarz
Yes but to show it to thousands of people who didnt know who you were in the first place isnt a smart idea.
DotSlashNatalie
I mean within a few clicks you can find the address of most people who you love/hate or for a low fee many people on the internet.
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
true.
DotSlashNatalie
I'm not saying its smart to post your address - but unless you are pissing people off - random people probably won't show up.
AlphaNate
Might want to take down the address, bruh.
throughthoughtthough
How else are we going to send her creepy gifts?
lmNOsuperman
I'm sending her a cake http://www.indonewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wpid-creepy-baby-shower-gift.jpeg
TwistedAttitudes
"Oh that's nice, I wonder how." *previews link* "Oh."
DotSlashNatalie
dm;wse (doesn't matter; would still eat)
atlgeek007
The address was posted by almost literally every news outlet that carries this story. Pandora's box is open.
jtb1313
Let's hope 4chan is in a kind mood today
jpapi68
Thankfully, imgur isn't 4chan
SleepingWalrus
Yes but the two aren't exclusive in regards to users. For all you know she could get a box of black dildos.
Imghurrr
What's wrong with that.. she won't need friends after she gets ahold of that. Best gift ever
AEM5700
...would be a better idea to use a p.o. box. She's going to get some weird stuff
Katalliaan
Not to mention that they're sharing the address, so there's a chance that some creeps would go there.
yonafin
I'm guessing she didn't expect someone to post it outside of her Facebook network.
Slyons875
Sadly this person is probably right...
CluelessAmerican
@Nipplesinajar you think you spare a few to brighten up her day?
NipplesInAJar
Sure thing!
JuniorChipmunk
She posted it on her Facebook and it has gathered a lot of media attention. It's been posted on lots of news outlets. 1/2
CObullUshitGH
It's probably bullshit.
JuniorChipmunk
I also hope people wouldn't do weird things to an autistic girl. That's just all kinds of wrong. 2/2
misseskitties
Have you met people? They take wonderfully beautiful things and destroy them. That being said, I'll send one.
thegrimtrigger
Only a small minority. The majority are kind and well intentioned. At least that's how I choose to view the world.
popculturella
Serious flashbacks to my 16th birthday. Rented out the laser tag place and nobody came. You betcha this girl is getting a card from me.
DEATHlikescats
had same thing at my 8th birthday party. only one I ever had as a kid cus I refused to have another until I was well into adulthood.
Prolyxe
now I want to go play laser tag...
Angelova33
(hug) omg I had similar happen to me. Birthday was a flop, was terrible.
SushiPooper
I just stopped having parties a long time ago
Molotovbliss
Same.
CoCoKunt
Who turns down laser tag?!
JuniorChipmunk
I totally would have gone to you laser tag party!!! I would still go to one if you had it!!! :)
popculturella
Well, it was 10 years ago at this point but I still kick ass at laser tag.
jtb1313
If you are in my area I will snipe you from across the map, you have been warned (in my head that last bit came out British, kinda Sherlock)
GhostInTheMachine89
I would love to play some laser tag. People are dicks.
popculturella
On the upside, the employees took pity on me and let me play as many games as I wanted for free all night.
GhostInTheMachine89
Worth it. I need to rent out a shooting range and try the same thing... Bullets are expensive.
DaulPirac
How can people be so shitty? And who wouldnt go to a laser tag party??
Shadowgli
Communists? Al Qaeda? Hitler?
Zoronii
it could be hitler's birthday and I'd still show up to laser tag.
HeyDaddio
Heil yeah!!
popculturella
The worst part was everybody calling on the day of to tell me they couldn't make it.
confusedchris
Well that's a very crappy situation. My condolences. but at least they didn't say they were going and just didn't show up:/
kuckhouse
You have a p.o box I'd like to send u a card as well
popculturella
Ha I do not, but if you're serious I suppose I could pm you my address.
kuckhouse
"I'm totally not a murderer"- Murderers
kuckhouse

DawnLoves
Do you want to get murdered. Cause that's how you get murdered.
popculturella

DawnLoves
