When the company heard about this, they tracked down all of the remaining boxes remained and delivered them to her for free!
The company also adapted the recipe for the product — which is usually made in massive batches — for home use so they never run out.
The nine-year-old has autism along with extreme oral aversion and complex eating challenges, and will eat virtually nothing but a particular type of maple cinnamon waffle that was recently discontinued. https://t.co/Pbgx3KopTL

Pit Bull Becomes Best Friend and Free Transportation for Senior, Paralyzed Chihuahua [PICS]
Tit is a senior Chihuahua who has irreversible nerve damage which prevents him from using his back legs. Along with the nerve damage, Tito also suffered from a collapsed trachea and an infected tumor.
After surviving treatment and surgery, Tito moved into the animal lover’s home, which she shares with two pit bull rescue dogs named Frank and Piper
Piper, who has helped Helfer look after dozens of foster pets, happily welcomed Tito into the furry fold, but it was Frank who truly gravitated toward the tiny pup.
Moments after meeting, the pair became inseparable and can almost always be found snuggling, if they aren’t on walks together.
But since Tito cannot walk on his own, he hangs out in the pocket of Frank’s vest!!
The dog’s owner says Tito’s happiest moments are on these walks, especially when they stop at an outdoor cafe!

Burger King Gives Free Burgers to Terminally Ill Dog
Cody, a 10-year-old Boxer-Labrador, was diagnosed with cancer about two months ago and given just one to three months to live. His family decided to treat their beloved dog in the time he has left.
They started going to Burger King every day to pick up a burger for Cody hoping it would not only give him something to enjoy but also help them administer his medicine more easily.
But one day, when they went to pick up his daily snack, staff at their local Burger King told his humans that they’d no longer be charged for the dog’s burgers.
Thanks to @BurgerKing for showing so much love and kindness towards my family and our dog, Cody. It’s appreciated more than words can describe. pic.twitter.com/KsKnfXtv0S

So would they offer up their home again? Yep! They wrote in this facebook post that has gone viral, “It was a wonderful experience. The wedding party was so gracious and appreciative, and we were thankful that we could offer our home. We highly recommend impromptu weddings.”

Toddler Adorably Insists on Only Throwing First Pitch from the Mound [VIDEO]
When I threw out the first pitch at a Norfolk Tides game, I probably should’ve stood a little closer to home plate in order to have a shot at getting the ball there LOL
but this toddler wouldn’t think about taking a short cut!
Little Nolan was about to throw out the first pitch at the Reds-Cubs game on Friday and the staff tried to let him stand closer but he didn’t want any help
Nolan straight up refused to throw out the first pitch until he was standing on the mound. He turned and briefly looked around — as if to tell everyone, “See! This is where I’m supposed to be!” — and then threw his pitch.
Nolan knows a pitcher needs to be on the mound. pic.twitter.com/fbft5E3ND8
