Our family and extended family became aware of a ten year old girl in Harrisonburg, VA (about 20 minutes from our farm) who has terminal cancer. Her only request for Christmas was that she receive 1000 Christmas cards. She said rather than gifts, she wanted cards. I thought this was a strange request until I began thinking about it.
When we leave this world, we can't take anything with us other than the love we have in our hearts. This little girl is very wise.
If you would like to send her a card, you may do so at the following address:
Danielle Bartlett
1820 Heritage Center Way
Harrisonburg, VA 22801
Thank you!

PS
Iit seems that the facts might have been wrong concerning this little girl. It does appear that she had a brain tumor but that it is now under control. She originally requested 1000 get well cards through Make A Wish Foundation, I believe.

I am glad that she is doing better.
I even asked the individual I received the information from if they were sure about the facts, so I did not research it before hand. That will teach me! ;-)
However, I am sure she would enjoy getting more cards if anyone would still like to send them!
