A local 9 year old girl is excited about reaching her 10th birthday on 9-9-14. She has a terminal neurological disease which usually kills before age 10. All she is asking for are birthday cards from around the world. I know this group of big hearted artists could make her birthday very special. If you would like to send a card to her (even a purchased card) please PM me for the address. I truly appreciate all my friends here.:wubclub::wubclub::wubclub:

I traced one of my most recent artworks and re-made a postcard for Ali. On the back I wrote..."Hum a happy tune, it's your birthday." Hope that'll do...

Thanks!! I'm just thrilled with all the participation. Ali has gotten over 1000 cards and letters so far. Our local newspaper did a frontpage article on her today. Gave me chills. Look at this beautiful 9 going on 10 face.148680

BekaH
08-31-2014, 07:35 PM
Oh how darling, I'm so happy for her. What exactly does she have??

JSilver
08-31-2014, 07:50 PM
Ali has a rare neurological disease called neuroaxonal dsytrophy. It's officially called PLA2G6 :Assoicated Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation. Iron is building on the base of her brain. She was diagnosed in 2012. Her symptoms resemble cerebral palsy and autism. Little else is known due to the rarity of the disease.

Thanks for asking, v.r.

JSilver
