He called on a very special group of rising stars, his ACHS Class of 2016. When Barnett and Robin Mantooth approached them with the proposal, everyone was on board.

Fellow teacher Amanda Randolph supplied the stickers, and the students mailed the letters and stickers on February 9, 2015. Click on headline for story, photo(s), and link to video and mailing address where you can help, too - CM By Lesley Ferguson and Ch'Dara Wheat Adair County High School senior Chance Barnett was deeply impacted when he came across a video of 8 year old, Bubby Everson of Graham, Washington. Everson's ninth birthday was February 11, 2015, and all he wished for was mail and stickers. Bubby has Cytomegalovirus or CMV. Usually this is a harmless virus, but it can also be fatal. This disease causes him to suffer from autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, deafness, scoliosis, and also confines him to a wheelchair. When Barnett saw this video:Bubby Everson/YouTube he knew he needed to respond. He talked to his 12th grade English teacher, Mrs. Robyn Mantooth, and asked if his class could get involved. Mantooth was also moved by Bubby's story and couldn't say no. When Barnett and Mantooth approached the class with the proposal, everyone was on board. The students devoted a class period to writing letters and sending their love and support to Bubby. Fellow teacher Amanda Randolph supplied the stickers, and the students mailed the letters and stickers on February 9, 2015. "I knew I had to do something," Barnett said. "It just called out to me." If you would like to send mail, cards, or stickers to Bubby for his birthday please send them to the following address: Bubby Everson Video: Boy facing health issues wants birthday mail This story was posted on 2015-02-12 02:31:30
