  • Hello, I have done a slideshow set to (powerful) music, the first half shows the true reality of what some of the children go through therefor some may rather not watch, the second half though shows exactly the same children with smiles created by people who send post through Post Pals.

    The link is http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=99b190dfbf42658e7a43ff&skin_id=601 (its better with the speakers on)

    My daughter has had a WEM for a complete set of Ben 10 micro figurines. She is chuffed to bits but has said she wants to send them to one of the Post Pals children when they arrive.

    Very proud Mummy here :)

    Thank you to the poster of the comp - I can't find which one it is.

    Vikki if you know which child hasn't had so many gifts this month or that would particularaly appreciate these then feel free to give me a shout otherwise I'll get DD to choose (I hate that bit) - the toys probably wont arrive here till after Christmas now.

    eta: Vikki I forgot to put Christmas cards in with my reindeer presents (I know, how do you forget that) Hopefully the kids will be made up with the pressies and not notice - REALLY sorry though :(
    :staradminHuuuuuuge thank you hugs to all posters:staradmin

    Whoopiedo- sorry for not replying (i thought i had!), I can see why your a very proud mummy! Johnny and Lukes sister passed away in September so they could use some TLC but don't get much post and they love Ben10 http://www.postpals.co.uk/pals/Katie+P

    Ethan C also loves Ben10 and doesn't get a lot of post http://www.postpals.co.uk/pals/Ethan+C

    Thank you so much :) Who were you a reindeer to? Lots of love x

    what a fantastic idea,so much so ive decided that this year/next year should i say,im going to work that extra bit harder and any unwanted prizes i have i will be donating too.

    the story behind this house is utterly amasing and has brought many a tear to my eye,and its local as well so i can drop any off when i need too,well done to whoever thought of the idea.
    It`s getting to the point

  • Hello, I'm desperately trying to find some people to senda card for a very poorly little girl who has just joined Post Pals. She is called Sophie and is 2 years old, she has been battling cancer since she was 15 months old and sadly she probably only has a matter of days left. Her family would love for her to get some cheerful post to make her smile
    It would be great if any of you would like to make her smile, her address (and her 4 year old sister's Jessica) can be seen here http://www.postpals.co.uk/pals/sophie+a Cards need to be sent first class and check her page before sending anything.

    Thank you,
    Vikki
