Would anyone be willing....UPDATE: A message from my brother! page 11 (link)

[ChiTownZee]

Send my brother a get well card?? It wouldn't even need to be a store-bought one, maybe just a note. His open-heart valve replacement is scheduled for March and I thought this might be nice for him. You wouldn't need to put your last name or return address if you don't want, but I thought it would be nice for him if you could put your city and state so he can see where in the country/world it came from. He's just going to be so limited in what he can do, and he's so bummed about the whole thing I figured getting a bunch of cards/notes would be nice for him. I was going to put them together and wrap them in a box for him to open after the open-heart. He's 12 years old and lives in IL about an hour south of Chicago (though I will collect them here and send them all together) So PM me if you are interested, and Thanks in advance!

That is so incredibly nice. He is very lucky to have you!!! Please let me know where I can send it!!

 

[doxdogy]

PM me the info and I will be glad to send him one this weekend.

 

[4greatboys]

PM me too. I would love to send him a card. I have sons his age so I think I can send something he would like.

Please PM me the info. I'd love to send a card to him. My dad has an artifical valve, so I know how scary that surgery is.

By the way, I also live outside of Chicago!

 

[ChiTownZee]

Thank you everyone!!! I have gotten quite a few responses and am just thrilled and moved by everyone's generosity to do something for someone that don't really know. I've had a couple of messages offering a fellow scout pen-pal, postcards from their area, and drawings from their kids, it's just great! Thanks again! I'm excited so I know he will be!

 

[annemariec]

I'll be glad to!

Count me in! Hope all goes well. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. 12 years old is so young to go through so much.

I'll be on the look out for your PM.
