I wish I could give you gold, so take this instead šŸ…. Iā€™m sorry. I canā€™t afford gold. I canā€™t afford silver. I am a very sick little boy. My mother is typing this for me, because I canā€™t. She is crying. Donā€™t cry, Mommy! Mommy is always sad, but she says itā€™s not my fault. I asked her if it was Godā€™s fault, but she didnā€™t answer, and only started crying harder, so I donā€™t ask her that anymore. The reason she is so sad is that Iā€™m so sick. I was born without a body. It doesnā€™t hurt, except when I go to sleep.
The doctors gave me an artificial body. My body is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us havinā€™ no money or insurance. I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy doesnā€™t work because she said employers donā€™t hire crying people. I said, ā€œDonā€™t cry, Mommy,ā€ and she hugged my burlap body. Mommy always gives me hugs, even though sheā€™s allergic to burlap, and it chafes her real bad.
I hope you will help me. You can help me if you upvote this comment. Dr. Johansen said if you upvote then Elon Musk will team up with Facebook and do a survey with SpaceX. Then the astronauts will collect prayers from school children all over America and take them up to space so that the angels can hear them better. Then they will go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me better then.
Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Or maybe just use my lungs and heart, when the doctors make them. The doctors said that every time you upvote this comment, the astronauts can take another prayer to the angels. Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I donā€™t want my leaves to rot before I turn 10.
If you donā€™t upvote this, thatā€™s OK. Mommy says youā€™re a mean heartless person who doesnā€™t care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that she hopes that you stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach. What kind of wretched person are you that you canā€™t take five lousy seconds to upvote this so that all the redditors can feel guilt and shame for the rest of their day, and then maybe help a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?
Please help me. This really sucks. I try to be happy but itā€™s hard. I wish
I had a puppy. I wish I could hold a puppy.
But anyways Iā€™m going off track. Very nice, I wish I could give you gold, but take this instead! šŸ…

Thank You.
Billy ā€˜Smilesā€™ Evans,
The boy with just a head.
And a burlap sack for a body.
