send a card to a sick child

vikki_louise

Hello, If you have a spare couple of minutes please visit https://www.postpals.co.uk and pop a card into the post to a child fighting illness (most are battling cancer or going through transplants), it will really make their day.

Hi, I would really love to do this, but what type of things do you send and write? I'm not sure that i would know what to write to someone in such a horrible situation - i don't want to make things worse

Hello, thanks for wanting to help :j Its best to stick to light hearted chit chat, tell them about yourself, what your up to, pets, or share some jokes or a poem, if you like creative writing you could even write to one of the younger ones from a teddy bear or kitten etc. the only guide line is to avoid the phrase "get well soon". Thanks again

If a duplicate thread is posted in DT the two threads will be merged anyway so best to stick to this thread.

I have been posting gifts to children for the past few days. It is such a good thing to do. I got a reply from one of the parents and it really makes you stop and think about how lucky we really are. If we can help others with just a card or small gift, its a fab thing to do

Vickie Louise,

Is it possible for you to point us in the direction of children who have not
received many cards/presents to even it out a little, especially for Christmas?
