Picture appeal for a poorly little boy

Hello, I was wondering if any of you or if any of your kids had a few minutes spare to do a picture for a very ill little boy. Kian is 2 and has had a bone marrow transplant, things haven't gone to plan and he is loosing all his abilities, doctors say they don't think he will make it :( He loves getting post, especially pictures which they put up on his hospital walls, and i wondered if any of you would be willing to send one please?

He is in Great Ormond Street, you can read about him and the address on his page here http://postpals.co.uk/pals/kian+b or there is an article in the Sun which was done before he went into hospital (and when things were hopeful) here http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2309909.ece

Thank you,

    I'm so sorry to hear this news, I sent some pictures to Kian a couple of weeks ago from the children I work with in school. It taught them so much about caring for other people. Will do lots more tomorrow and send them to Kian. Keep up the good work Vikki x
  • I will get my DS to draw him a picture and I'll do my best too. xxx

  • It broke my heart to hear that such a beautiful little boy is so ill - my DD is doing Art at University and I will ask her and her fellow students to do something special for him.

  • I would add that there are a lot of children in need of a little smile on the post pals site. Take a little while to read them and see if there is anything we can do to make life a bit brighter for them x

  • Thank you everyone :) I am very happy to say despite the odds Kian has turned the corner and is doing a lot better :) He still has a long way to go but he is heading in the right direction :) Thank you to everyone who has sent or is sending him post :)
