We first told you about Kathleen Edward when a malicious neighbor used her illness to insult her family in a nasty feud. Since then her community has banded around Kathleen, and a Redditor who runs a toy shop set up a page for his fellow Redditors to donate money to fund a big party for Kathleen.

He writes on the toy shop's website:

When I was getting my goodbye hug, I whispered in her ear and asked her, "Sweetheart, what was the best part of the day?" She thought for a moment, and whispered back... "Ponies." She smiled as she put her head on my shoulder.

I am a former United States Marine. I have seen my share of things that would make you cringe. I cried at least 8 times today.

Oof. Photos and video of the event after the jump.

Here is some video footage of Kathleen's big day.

It's nice that somebody used Reddit to do something good for a change. Even from the sea of goatse pornography, misogyny, hypocrisy and hatred that is Reddit, something good has emerged for once.

Good for once? The Reddit community isn't known for "pornography, misogyny, hypocrisy and hatred". It's just a tight community, of above-average nerdiness who share interests. Making misleading statements like that just highlights your ignorance.

Are you confusing reddit with... someplace else?

Yes, Reddit is known for "pornography, misogyny, hypocrisy and hatred". Look around:
