LITTLE RILEY FROM Cork is two and a half years old and has non-verbal autism.

Riley also absolutely loves the Angry Birds toys from the McDonald’s Happy Meals.

He had built up a collection of a few of his favourite toys over the last few months – but earlier this week he lost them. As his mam Nicole told Cork’s Red FM, this was a disaster:

Yesterday morning he spent an hour searching in every cupboard and drawer for these birds which were nowhere to be seen. He is non verbal and finds it so hard to get his feeling across, so losing his favourite toy caused a lot of tantrums and upset.

Unluckily for Riley, McDonald’s has changed its Happy Meal toy since he got them, meaning they couldn’t just go and get another. So Nicole emailed McDonald’s asking could she buy them – but something even better happened:

This package arrived at their house the very next morning from McDonald’s, filled with his favourite Angry Birds toys

Wonderful.

Nicole told DailyEdge.ie that the package meant the world to Riley:

It was amazing! I don’t think anyone understands how something so small can make him so happy! He’s sitting in front of me now playing with them.

The box contained the soundest note as well:

“Hope this cheers up little Riley”

Mission accomplished.

Given Nicole had only asked about purchasing some more, the sheer amount of free toys was a delight:

I asked them could I buy some so I was hoping they would send me details to buy some! But I never expected this.

She sent her story into local radio station Cork’s Red FM last night and everyone has fallen in love with this heartwarming tale.

And here he is enjoying his haul <3
