Cooper Sasser will be 2 years old Nov. 18th. Unlike most children Cooper won't have a Birthdat party with friends, he will only have a few members of his family to help him celebrate. Cooper, the son of Christy and Justin Sasser of Andalusia, Al. was diagnosed with leukemia this summer and his immune system is so low that he can’t be exposed to anyone, which means they can’t have visitors at his home.
A family friend Elaine Bulger has come up an idea that will help Cooper celebrate his birthday and help his family with the treatment costs– in the form of a birthday card and $1.
“If people are thinking of him, and praying and blessing him with cards for his second birthday, what a way it would be, to not only uplift the family to know so many do think of them and care for them, but also for Cooper who can’t have a birthday party, that he too would have a birthday memory that his mom and dad can share with him later when he fully understands what is going on with him.
“Although he maybe a very sick little boy, he will know that he had so many people blessing him as he turns 2,” Bulger said.
Bulger has already sent word out to family and friends, but she’d like to see the movement go countywide.
Anyone interested in participating in Sasser’s Nov.18th birthday, and those wishing to contribute are asked to send a birthday card with a handwritten note and $1 to: Cooper Sasser, P.O. Box 1043, Andalusia, AL 36420.
