It all started when Autism Speaks received an email from Robin Newberger last
week about a very special gift her 5-year-old son Daniel recieved from
their Ojai, Calif., trash collector, Manuel Sanchez. The video titled "The Gift" has since gone viral and has over 1 Million views on our Autism Speaks Youtube channel. Robin even created a Facebook Page called, "The Gift."
Although it is not that clear in the video, Manuel gave Daniel a toy
garbage truck he paid for with his own money. Manuel did not know that
Daniel had autism - He only knew that Daniel ritually waited outside
every Monday for the garbage truck to come. As a result of the video and
good deed, Manuel's company Harrison Industries is recognizing him for a job well done.
"That little boy is so special, and he will steal anybody's heart as
soon as you see him," Manuel told his employer. "I didn't know what he
has but there's something very special about him."
