Florida Mother Searches For Child Who Helped Her Disabled Toddler

Last week, one mother saw an unfamiliar boy interacting with her 18-month-old wheelchair-bound son at a local science center in Florida.

He performed a random act of kindness, according to her.

"I would love to thank him," Katie Myers of West Palm Beach, Florida, told ABC News  "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."

Katie said that at seven months, her son Kaden was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which made his muscles get weaker with time.

As he was not able to walk, she brought Kaden to the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium in West Palm Beach so that he could enjoy his play hours.

"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," Myers added. "It's big and has smooth, concrete floors. It's his own, accessible little paradise.

"We're there all the time, but we've never had an experience like this."

Katie said that with her sister, she brought Kaden to the science center on Thursday just so that he could have fun. On the site, she saw a boy slightly older than him exhibiting some kindness and helping him in his 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," Myers 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," she added. "This boy didn't see Kaden's wheelchair, he just saw Kaden and that's something that doesn't happen often."

So she took a shot and posted the picture on his community Facebook page, garnering 225,000 "likes" and more than 51,000-plus "shares."

She wrote in her caption: "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 and engage with you. You helped him pick up balls from the floor when you saw that he could not. You didn't ask what was wrong with him or why he couldn't walk, you just saw him. Kaden is a lot like you, he is very curious and wildly smart. He wants to know how everything works.

"Thank you for helping him turn the lever when you noticed he was too weak to do it himself. You will probably never see this but just by being you, you make this world better."

Katie added that she hopes that Kaden and his mysterious friend will enhance awareness about SMA.
