Wonderful Story of A Boy Who Loves Kirby Vacuums

[tomturbomatic]

This is a story of an autistic boy who has loved Kirby vacuums since he was two. For his 14th birthday, his mom arranged for a cake with a Kirby on top and asked Kirby for a demonstration for her son who watches videos of Kirby vacuums all of the time. Watch this story of kindness and love and get a lump in your throat.

Saw that on the neighboring vacuum forum-loved the young mans reaction when he was presented with his Kirby!Sort of cried and laughed at the same time.Very happy for him!!!Glad he could get his wishes coming true!Shows companies that sometimes had a bad rap can have a good one,too.I am sure he is going to do a lot of helping with the housework with his new Kirby voluntarily!

Another autistic boy who loves vacuums

Google 'Marcus Bartlett Hoover" for another great video. There is a great bit of vacuum artwork you can print for your wall.

More Marcus

If you enjoyed the previous video, watch "Marcus senior assembly" on YouTube. The quality of the video isn't the best, but it's worth suffering through to see what Hoover did for this great kid.
