    Thanks for showing me this site, it really puts life little worries into perspective. I have spent all morning reading all the children's stories, and many a tear was shed. I will forward this around my office and friends and hope to put a smile on their little faces. I have a slight dilema though, what do you write?? I'm hopeless with things like this, or should I just say nothing and send a gift.
    Any help would be gratefully received. Next time I see a children's freebie on this site I will save them up for these beautiful kids.

    Thanks to the OP, an excellent site
    With Love From The Mistress xx :p

    When I sent my emails, I just wrote about who I was, what music I liked and questions like "What is your favourite film ? I really like...." stuff like that !
    Its the thought that counts, so whatever you write will be very appreciated I'm sure :o If you have a child, or know someone if the child's age, then talk about them or what they like to do, and ask the child if they like things like that ? An interactive letter so to speak ! ;)

    You are most welcome.
    The kids and I have been sending some cards they've had lots of fun painting pictures to send.
    Thank you for posting this link it has made me realise how lucky I am and how such a small email can make such a big difference. You deserve post of the month in my opinion :)
