Christmas Card

Hey, a friend sent me this.  Didn't know if anyone else saw it, or if anyone wanted to send her a card.  Poor kid!

****

This little girl lives down the road from me. I wanted to share the below with all of you. Many of the Volunteer Fire Companies in the area including Rothsville will be delivering cards to this young girl on Thursday evening. If you would like to send her cards her address is at the bottom of this email. Please feel free to cross post and share with your prayer groups and your Churches. thanks!!

This is the 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

Re: Christmas Card

  • My DH was there last night with the fire company he volunteers with. He said it's so just so heartbreaking to see her lying there on the strecher. My heart goes out to her and her family. Sad
  • Oh my God - how absolutely heartbreaking. Poor, poor little thing. Certainly makes you take a breath and realize no matter what kind of day you're having at work, or how "stressed" you are over the Holidays... your life is wonderful. Wow.

  • Wow, what a sad and unfortunate story. Thanks for posting. If I'm able, I'll have my kids make her cards on Monday.
