Tate suffers from cerebral palsy. His mother said he doesn't speak, blinking once for no and twice for yes, and he loves people.

He is also a student at George Washington High School in Danville, Virginia.

"When we are out, people are looking and staring," Tambra told WSET. "And it doesn't bother me. He's mine and I know he's a child of God so I shouldn't be ashamed of him."

Now she's asking for the cards to show Tate that people care.

If you would like to help, you can send a birthday card to:

Tate Malone

233 Meadowbrook Lane

Danville, VA 24540
