    These children are so brave and beautiful-I can understand a little bit of how they feel as i was extremely ill with spinal problems when i was young but after surgery twice i am fully fit and healthy.I haven't got any children of my own yet but by looking at this site i have realised that you don't have to give birth to love a child evry child is special.I am going to send some cards and treats to these children and am going to encourage family and friends to the the same.Every time a child laughs and every time a child smiles a little piece of innocence and happiness will hopefully spread thoughout the world.thank you to everybody!
    Love can tame the wildest

    I'm sad to say Megan R passed away yesterday, her dad said how much the post had cheered up megan and that they really appreciate it,

    What i'd quite like to do (and am able to because it's my Summer hols and I have a LOT of spare time) is sent an e-mail to every child on the site.

    I really can't research every individual condition or anything but I hope I could make them feel as if someone cares and you know, cheer them up.

    This is probably a right stupid idea but just e-mailling to one would make me feel like there are others out there that haven't had anyone contacting them. I don't know if I could afford to send anything other than an e-mail as I don't really make any money.

    Reading all the stuff is actually making me quite upset.
