x-mas cards for 4 year old girl
My heart sank when I first heard about this little girl from my Mary Kay director and heard about it again on 101.3 this morning, see her story below (her only Christmas wish is to receive lots of Christmas cards for her last holiday!)
This is the true story of a 5-yr old Lititz girl, Hannah Garman, who was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor. She has been given 12 weeks to live and is currently in her 7th week. She was going to be the flower girl at a wedding in May, but was diagnosed a week after we asked her to be the flower girl. This is especially sad because her mother died 2 yrs ago from breast cancer.
Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bed and cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting from people, but she LOVES getting cards - she has gotten so many from people she does not know and just loves to have grandma read about the people who send them and see their pictures and is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards.
When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school groups where children are making her cards. People are including pictures so she can see who it is that is sending her the card.
If you would like to help with her wish, you can send a card to her at:
Hannah Garman
704 Orchard Rd
Lititz, PA 17543
THANKS! Feel free to pass this along to your own prayer group, church, school, etc. Let's see if we can have the cards coming in big postal bags for her this Christmas, since it will be her last holiday.
I have added a pic of here if you want to know how true this is there are places you can track her progress. Google it.. Thanks so much..

Re: x-mas cards for 4 year old girl
Here is a news article on her:

That made me cry.
I just sent out a card.
I was going to come home and post this also.
I work at IU 13 and received this email today. Make a Wish has an office in the Burle building and the VP of real estate for Burle knows the family. I forwarded to all of our program staff, my family and friends and asked them to pass it on.
It only takes moments of our time and would make her days brighter.
Just saw on the news that over 50 firetrucks, ambulances, and police cars are coming in a procession to deliver her more cards tonight. This is the kind of story that I both love and hate to hear about -- I love that she's such a strong little girl, and that so many people are making her wish come true, but I hate that something so awful has to happen to such a young child who hasn't had a chance to do all the things kids do.
I'm sending her a card as well.
