Bumping up

WeAreGhosts

Some of the kids are having a tough time at the moment. Particularly Jack E and Ebonie. So bumping to keep this in people's minds in case they have anything they've won that's suitable for the kids

Not a cheery Christmas for some

From their FB post yesterday

Seems to be the week for line infections! We have lots of Pals in need of TLC
****is struggling with his last year of chemo (2 years of daily chemo is taking its toll)
**** had a new area of cancer found a week or two ago which means she can't go ahead with radiotherapy
**** has been in intensive care and is currently in HDU
**** is in hospital with a line infection
**** was rushed to hospital last week and had emergency surgery to remove some of her small bowel
**** is in hospital due to ending up in septic shock
**** is in hospital with an infection
**** has had a couple of trips to hospital and his Mum is worried his condition has started to deteriorate
Please consider sending them a cheerful card in the post, the address to send them to can be found on their pages here https://www.postpals.co.uk

Update on ***- after months of waiting and having his B!T delayed he finally had a start date of Nov 21st but just before hand his donor had to pull out. The family are now having to restart the hunt for a donor, they could use some TLC and if you are young and healthy please please consider joining the register, the charity Delete Blood Cancer lets people sign up 18-60

I'm still quite new to comping and haven't yet seen this thread, I enter some kids comps for things that my niece and nephews will like but will definitely enter more for older children as well. Hopefully I'll have some gifts to send soon but in the meantime I'll send some cards or letters. I can't seem to choose one-two children myself at the moment, Vikki do you have an idea of who I should send to, are there any children (or their siblings) not recieving much post at the moment?

Bumping to say that I have just come across this thanks to Toniq mentioning postpals in another thread and can't believe I have missed it up until now. What a wonderful idea - I've got some "left over" Disney Princess stuff from a win at Christmas and have found a child who is Disney crazy on postpals. Can't think of a better person to give them to. Thanks to Toniq for bringing this to my attention

Thank you for sending cards and letters Mason and his sisters get very little post despite him being terminally ill, James and his sister Emma need some TLC, Jamie, Jude and William also don't get much post
