"I'm feeling pretty good. I'm thankful for the support of people I don't even know," said Austin Babinsack. "I've been sitting in my learning support teacher's room all day. I'm hoping that this week I'll be able to just go to my classrooms again and go back to normal."
The biker groups We Are Family and K-Dogs Kidz knew they had to do something for Austin Babinsack, who is autistic.
"We're here to show him that he has a lot of friends he doesn't know about. We're here to support him, and his family, and hopefully our being there can make a difference," said Lance Baird, of We Are Family.
Austin Babinsack's mother, Kristie Babinsack, couldn't believe the outpouring of love and support for her son.
"It's unbelievable. I love it. God bless all of them. Honestly, thank you so much," said Kristie Babinsack.
