October Make a Child Smile
:wub:


The stories of courageous kids that you'll read on this website will touch your heart. Here, kids with life threatening illnesses are featured monthly. Each name will link to their stories.
All we ask of you is to mail a nice card to our Featured Kids of the Month. If you can also afford to send a small gift that would be wonderful! You can pick one or all 3 kids.
Featured children are not the only ones who benefit from the mail. It touches the whole family! Even the children's young siblings end up receiving their own mail! One month we had a Featured child's grandfather thank us on the board. Very touching!!

Some kids are too young to really understand where the cards and gifts are coming from, but it makes their parents happy to know that strangers they never met, care about their child and are sending their love and support.

How can you help?

So we have 3 new beautiful little children that would be so happy to receive mail from all of you kind and talented artists. You can send as little or as much as you wish, within your budget of course. Some of us only send a greeting card and a couple of ATC's and some of us go all out and send crayons, coloring books, cards etc ... this is totally up to you.

For 42 cents you can make a child smile.

* You can sign up for all 3 kids or just 1.
* Post to the thread and let me know what kids you want to send to and I will put your name on the list.
* Be sure you send out your items so they arrive by the last day of September.

WHOEVER SIGNS UP TO SEND TO AT LEAST 1 OF THESE SPECIAL CHILDREN, YOUR NAME WILL BE PUT INTO A DRAWING THE END OF THE MONTH, AT WHICH 1 NAME WILL BE CHOSEN TO RECEIVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE.

URGENT MAIL is:
MAJOR change in their medical status such as a relapse, upcoming major surgery, transplant, or sadly, hospice care; they would really benefit from some extra mail to cheer them up.

It's amazing how happy a stamp can help a child. Take care and please join us in MACS Every Month. Just post which child you would like to sent to. If you have any Questions you can pm Me or Robin.
Thanks, and big Hugs Jena and Robin. Let's make a child smile today!!!
