This is Camden. He dreamed of having a, “huge water balloon fight with lots of kids,” for his birthday in July.
His family absolutely wanted his wishes to come true, but Camden has a speech disorder called Apraxia, giving him a, "“really hard time making friends,” said his parents in a Facebook post.

He's homeschooled, because he is also hyperactive, has trouble pronouncing words, and can be impulsive. However, they said he is an “awesome kid and very smart.” Including the fact that he's, "…a math whiz, loves history and when he grows up wants to be a country music singer just like Luke Bryan — he knows all of his songs already,” according to what the family wrote on Facebook.

He used to hang out with an older boy in the neighborhood who apparently said he no longer wanted to be around a, “little kid that can’t talk right.” So, Camden's parents weren't sure who to invite.

They said the only people that would come would be, "…pretty much all that will be there is his sister and her best friend and a few cousins.”

So, they turned to Facebook to create an open invitation birthday party on July 6.

The event page said, “To fulfill his 10th birthday wish of having a huge water balloon fight, I am extending an open invitation to anyone with kids that wants to come throw some water balloons with one awesome little boy.” 

The page gathered over 1,000 likes and people from around the globe wished Camden a happy birthday.

Camden’s mom, Traci, wrote on a GoFundMe page for his party, “The emails & stories people have sent are truly touching and I know we’re not alone and Camden WILL have the birthday party of his dreams,” .

The Eubank family was truly amazed by all the support they received:
