Wal-Mart cordially invites you to a party.

Of course there will be cake.

But most important----you get to meet Grace---Cooper---and Thomas.

Walmart Driver James Blackstone said, "This is a day for the kids to not think about something is wrong with me.  Or not to be sick.  Or not have a worry in the world.  But have a party. And have something that is just for them."

This party is part of a program called Walmart Heart.

Truck drivers like James give back to children with special needs.

Besides showering them with presents----they receive a special honor.

"We are going to make them a honorary truck driver for the day.  They are going to get their own truck ride," said Blackstone.

Dressed in their new uniforms---they are ready to ride.

And they are now part of a new community.

Blackstone said, "Thats the fun of it.  It's to make them look like a truck driver.  So they look like us and it makes them feel connected."

Its a memory that will last a life time.

"If i give you something thats in your heart, nobody can that take away from you.  Nobody can take away what happened to me, and these guys, and to you.  You got it forever," said Blackstone.

Watching the children take off in the trucks is a moment to cherish.

Blackstone said, "The real joy of this go outside and watch those kids ride in the truck.  When you see them hang out the window and smile you will remember it forever."

There is a small price to pay to attend the party.

"Tears," said Blackstone.

But warming hearts is priceless.
