Card Drive

I am hosting a Card Drive for my husband's friend's family. His little boy has a brain tumor and I would like to send them as much support as we can through this hard time. We aren't exactly sure yet what is going on with the tumor(as far as cancer or not) but they had said it was benign when they found it and then decided to do surgery last week. As far as we know the surgery went well, so let's hope for the best for him and his family. The family's names are Doug(father) Amanda(mother), Emmy(big sissy), and Colin Gleason. Colin is 20months old and as cute as can be!

What you need to know before we start:
  • Cards should be happy, fun, funny, colorful, encouraging, supportive, etc. Please no mushy sad 'we're here for you' type of cards we need to cheer them up and keep their hopes up. 
  • If you don't make cards go ahead and print one purchase one or write a note, any happy support during this time is helpful. Also they have a daughter as well(big sister) so don't forget to send some support to her as well. 
  • If you have children, get them involved... kid's love to get cards and drawings from other children. 
  • Get your school groups or church groups together to make a few cards.
  • Please note who made the card on the back of the card.
  • Include a piece of paper in the package with the number of cards sent and your name and contact info. I will be giving a prize to someone each month so please write your info!! ;)
  • Please don't seal the envelopes of the cards as the parents might want to look them over first.
  • If you would like to send a small gift please send a little extra money for the extra postage.
  • All cards can be mailed to my address: (I will be sending them packages of the cards as I receive them) 
If you have any questions just email me thank you!
