As so many of you know, my daughter has a life limiting illness.

and she is not alone, there are many children all with different illnesses, who battle to survive each day.

Ive just registered chloe with post pals

this is an organisation that lists children with long term and life limiting illnesses and allows a kind hearted person to send a card, or a gift, or something that will make that child smile, something to just say, hey im thinking of you, and i think your great.

this is the website

http://www.postpals.co.uk/

Im asking you all (overseas and in the UK) to pick a child, and send a card (even a postcard if your from far away) or something to brighten that childs day.

you cannot imagine how much it would mean to that one child you choose.

it take 5 minutes, can cost you only a very small amount and yet give you that wondeful feeling you get when you have done something selfless.

Thank you for reading.

Wow! What a good idea! This is my job for the weekend! And the great thing is that I do so love writing letters/cards! So I can do a good thing for someone that requires almost no effort at all. Everyone should please do it.

ive only just registered chloe and done the paperwork, they are very stringent with rules, so each child has to be verified (obv some sick people try and register children with nothing wrong with them) ive sent all the relevant medical information and she should be up there as soon as possible.

but don't feel you have to send to chloe. you can choose someone else, if you do want to send to her, then im fine with that, im just not sure when she will go up

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Thanks for posting the link SerenityPunk & for enlightening us all to this worthy cause.

I shot the link to my wife & we will look at it together tonight to choose a child to send a card & gift to.

Thanks, I'll check back next week. The first kid on the site has spina bifida, which my grandpa had, so I was pretty much hooked immediately. This site is a really good idea, thanks for linking it.
