Hello my friends! Today I am very excited to start a new "Card Drive for Kids" with Spina Bifida. October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month and I hope you can help with this Card Drive.
If you don't know what Spina Bifida is, please check this site to learn a little bit more.This Card Drive is a good way to cheer up the kids and their families. The goal is that each kid receive the same amount of cards and I hope they can receive more than 100 cards each!!
The kids for this year are:
Logan: 2 years old. (Mr. Logan is turning 3 on October 17th!!)
Tanner: 2 years old. (Mr. Tanner is turning 3 on December 15th!!)
Rebekah: 9 years old.
Details about this Card Drive:
- This card drive will end October 31.You have the whole month to send your cards.
- Cards can be anything cheery, encouraging, supportive, etc. Anyone can send a card. Please DO NOT send sorry, get well or anything like this. Remember, we want to make them happy. Thanks!
- Cards can be for the child and/or for their family members.
- All cards need to have a message in it for the child/family. Please also sign your name and where you are from. On the card envelope, write the name of who the card is for. Please, don't seal the envelope, as the parents might want to read the cards before the kids see them.
- Please do not include big items with your card.
- There is no need to send money with your cards. However, it is greatly appreciated as it helps with the cost of mailing cards and the prize.
- You don't need to create new card for this. We cardmakers, have lots of cards already made.
- Please send a card for each kid ALL at once, so your name will be included in the Big Prize!
- All cards can be mailed to me at:

ReplyDeleteGiovana...I will most certainly do what I can to share this with my friends and will also send cards...thank you for sharing YOUR heart for these beautiful children and their families.
ReplyDeleteHaving been born with a spinal birth defect, I know what I went through. I'm now 62, with 2 sons, two grandsons, with another on the way! And I have a beautiful great granddaughter too! I know how difficult life can be for these kids. But they can also be just as lucky as I have been. I'll be working on cards in the next day or two. Thanks Giovana
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jessica
Fantastic cause, Giovanna! I'm going to see if I can get something done this weekend. What sweet kids, each of them!
ReplyDeleteGiovana, my cards went out in the mail today but I think I forgot to put an additional paper in with my name and address etc. There are cards for each of the kids. They all looked so happy and sweet. Their smiles are so heartwarming. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy cards went in the mail on Monday. My kids wanted to know why I was making my cards this weekend and I showed them the sweet pics of the children. Thanks for doing this! ((hugs))!
