** To see my project for the "sneak peak" of the new scrappy mom's stamp set, click HERE!**
After working for my parents business for 10 years, you get to know your customers pretty well and over time they become more like friends. One of the customers had told me last year that he was thrilled that his niece, Madison, was in remission from Leukemia! Their family was over joyed that such a young girl had beat this vicious cancer (she's only 6 years old). However, just last week, their family was just hit with the most horrific news........Madison's cancer has returned.
Now I personally do not know Madison BUT i'm the type of person who wants to help whenever I can. I know that I cant cure her but I can help with making her day a little better by sending her a card to put a smile on her face. So, this is where i'm hoping to get your help.....i'm hoping to get a TON of cards to cheer up Madison. "Get well" cards and anything that is super girly would be perfect!!! And if you'd like to send a small gift, ex: a barbie or stuffed animal, im sure it would cheer her up and keep her company while she spends the next several weeks in the hospital. I know she loves pink, butterflies, and anything girly.
If your interested in helping please send your cards/packages to the following address by Friday, October 29th (please have it in the mail on or before that date):
Trisha Theo
Po Box 7806
North Port, Florida 34290
Thank you everyone in advance for spreading the word and helping this young girl get through such a hard time,
Trish
Ps....if you'd like to send a card to Madison's parents with words of encouragement or your prayers, their names are Bobby & Maria.

oh wow, this is a really nice thing to do. I will try my best to send a card out for her. I know what her family must be going through :[ Hope she gets better once and for all!!
ReplyDeleteI also live in North Port, I am really sorry to hear this news of Madison. I will get the word to the moms at the cheer field and to my lady friends at the HCMS school. I will also let my neighbor know to request prayer at Murdock Baptist Ladies Tuesday Night and see if they can help in some way.

Is Madison on a special diet? Can we send her candy?
ReplyDeletehowardcris@gmail.com
I am asking because I have just the right gift box for her (it is pinkish, has butterflies on it and I think it looks girly) that I made for a challenge (pictures at my blog - http://thebrazilicancrafter.blogspot.com/), I just need to figure out to put in it...
ReplyDeleteI just posted your blog on mine so hopefully more people can join your effort to cheer Madison up...
ReplyDeleteI will do my best to craft a card. :]
ReplyDeleteAwwww, so sorry and so great of you....
ReplyDeleteI will create and send something...

Cristiane, I'm not sure if she is on a special diet....i'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteTo all you other ladies who have been sending me emails, comments, and been posting this message on your blogs....THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I really do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! I know that the cards will put a big smile on her face!

More than happy to help you out! I read Momo's post and there's no way I would turn away from helping out. You are so wondeful for putting this together. God Bless!
ReplyDeleteRead Momo's post and just had to help. Making cards as we speak.
ReplyDeleteI mailed my cards this afternoon. I also included a check. You may use it to buy Madison a gift or give it to the family to use as they wish. With a sick child comes lots of unexpected bills. Just trying to pay it forward. This is an awesome thing you are doing. God Bless You!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jessica and Sherri!! Barbara, that is so very sweet of you to include the check....it will be so greately appreciated from the family!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you again everyone for joining in AND spreading the word on your blog!
Saw this on Obsessed with Scrapbooking. I posted it on my blog thescrpayardrose.com and my card will be in the mail today. I will also ask my scrapbooking group (80+ members) to make cards.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely send some cards over and include her and family in my prayers. That is really tough for any person especially a sweet little girl.

ReplyDeleteMy card went out today....hope she gets a huge smile from all the cards she'll get!
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for her....
I hope I am not too late. I told my niece the story of Madison and of course we wish her well. My niece and I both made cards for Madison, but I do apologize that they were put in the mail today, so technically I think they wont go out til the 30th. I know you asked for them to be sent out by the 29th, I am so sorry. Hope it goes out in time. Thank you for letting us know and be a part of this. I am sure all these cards will put a smile on her face. Have a great day Trish. xoxo cake35@comcast.net
