Come on Moms! This little guy needs our help...

 If everybody  could take a minute and open their hearts... A friend of a friend has a 5 yr. old son who is in the last stage of a 2 1/2 year fight with Neuroblastoma cancer. His one wish is to get lots and lots of Christmas cards. Being that there is little time, they are celebrating Christmas next week. Please help make this wish come true. Send cards to : Noah Biorkman, 1141 Fountain View Circle, South Lyon, MI 48178.

 This was a message I received on Facebook. Being a sceptic (thanks Cafemom) I investigated and it is absolutely true. Imagine if 100 of us (out of a million) sent cards? Normally, I will admit,  I would read about this, shed a tear and move on, but today I felt inclined to try to get the word out. My husband and I just returned from his grandmothers funeral. She passed after a long battle with colon cancer. She was a wonderful lady who spent her life helping children in need through her church.

 Today, the minister said something that will always stick with me. In her honor, do small good deeds. Nothing dramatic or grand, just a small good deed. Posting here and sending a card tomorrow will be my small good deed in honor of Janette. Lets help this little guy out!  If you cannot, a bump will do! Thanks ladies!

 

 Here are a couple of links about the story..

I lost my aunt 2 1/2 yrs ago to geoblastoma brain cancer and my uncle is dying in a hospital as we speak of what started as lung cancer and has spread to his bladder, intestines, throat, etc. He is likely not to make it through the weekend. 


I am sending a card tomorrow. I cant imagine going through that. Even if it was a hoax it is worth believing in for the cost of a card and a stamp!
