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

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 JessieB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s face and she says reading the hundreds of cards that come in twice a year does just that.

Cards can be mailed to:

Jessie Simpson

P.O. Box 233
