One Nanaimo family's quest for "Kraft Dinner Star Wars Mac and Cheese", a search that grabbed headlines and even the attention of actor William Shatner, has a happy ending.
The Botwright family received their supply of the Star Wars KD Saturday. Reed Everett says 400 of the packages were donated by the Real Canadian Superstore. " We can't say it enough how they've pooled their resources and used their connections to get us what Everett wants to eat."
The reason the Botwright family needed the specific product is because their 6-year-old son has Autism Spectrum Disorder and can be picky about his food to the point of not eating. When the family discovered that Everett would gobble-up Star Wars Mac and Cheese they were overjoyed . That joy turned distraught when they discovered it's a hard to find limited edition product. Now through the help of social media and the community of Nanaimo, Everett has a year's supply of his favourite food.
