Im not one to post things asking for donation things, but thought that this was a rgeat then that really doesnt cost anything.
My wife is a RN and one of the patients is a local girl with leukemia that is only 6 years old (maybe 7). Her parents said that she just loves getting mail. So they passed her address around the hospital and that got her quite a few. So I thought that with what we did with the young lady needing a scooter awhile back, why not come here to get things going again.
So all im asking for is that anyone that is interested just drop this girl a little letter, card, for some words of encouragement, etc. I was just told that her birthday is August 30th as well, so a birthday card would actually be perfect, since you can send it, say happy birthday, and make it a little less complicated thinking of words. This is not to send money. This is strictly to make her eyes light up seeing a bunch of mail. So send her something yourself, or ask you wife or kids etc if they want to.
If interested, pm me or email me at [email protected] and i will send you her address, i do not want to put her address on the net without her permission. I dont know the girl myself, but my 3 girls are downstairs making up their own cards to send her, so for the cost of three stamps, hopefully it will be a few minutes of smiles.
******Just thought of something else that would be cool if you want to go the extra mile. I have received over 50 pm and emails so far, so this is really turning out awesome. So if you want to go the extra mile, something cool would maybe be if in the envelope that you put a postcard with a cool picture from your area. Im getting so many emails from all over the country and even a few out of the country. But the envelope is the important part because i was told that she like to open the mail. So at least do that. But so many of you have been generous and said that you are going to ask emplowyees and co-workers to send a letter as well, so this girl might have one of the best birthday's ever. thanks so much. It feels great knowing that we are coming together for a non-pinhead that none of us know personally
thanks again
