A mum has been inundated with support after she offered to pay a stranger to be friends with her son who has Down Syndrome. Donna Herter, from Missouri, America, explained how her 24-year-old son, Christian Bowers, doesn't have many friends in a heartbreaking Facebook post - and asked whether anybody would be willing to give up their time to hang out with him.
She wrote: "I'm looking for a young man, between the ages of 20-28 who would like to make some extra money. Two days a month for two hours, I'll pay you to be my son's friend. All you have to do is sit with him and play video games in his room. Nothing else. He's 24 and has Down Syndrome and doesn't have any friends his age.
