  • Thanks for this, have used post pals before... I voted for them in a lottery bid once which I think they won, and they are very worthwhile. I know a lady who's little boy is on there and she says that it's great and really cheers the kids up.

    This is great, I have emailed all my friends and also asked my company to send round an 'All Staff' email.. we have 1100 staff so that should help! :D

    Thank you very much missmuppet, and everyone !

    I don't know anyone who has children on the site, but I think its just such a worthy cause. Hopefully more parents will sign their children up once they hear about it !

    This is just so hard to pick isn't it. I wanna send cards to them all! I think I'm going to get some packs of stickers and put them inside my cards. Kids love stickers and hopefully it will make them smile.

    Thanks so much for the post again, it's so easy to not notice that there are sites out there for this kind of thing.

    this is wonderful- well done crazyangel, you have a heart of gold! hopefully this will cheer up some of those kids. im sure if it was my daughter who was ill-it would mean alot to me to know that so many people care.

    Hello, thanks to you all :)

    i wondered if i could ask for some help here please. We have had an email from one of our Pals mums (her son Jamie passed away) his best friend was Jack, now Jack is really ill and needs some cheering up, but i dont have enough details to get him up on our site. His cancer has relapsed and is very ill with pleurisy, his Mum's asked if we can send some things his way as he is bored and really down.

    He is about 7,

    The address is

    Jack B (this isn't our other pal jack b)

    Thank you, Viks

    This is a lovely site & lets people do something really caring for a child who is ill. I've sent my first e-mail this morning & will be sending cards for Christmas. It makes me realise just how lucky I am to have two healthy children. Thanks for posting this xx
  • Thanks for letting us know about this site - I never knew it existed but will now start letting others know.

    Have sent my first e-mail this morning and plan to add a few little bits and pieces to my shopping list to send for Christmas.

    Thanks OP.
