Send a Valentines Day card to a 9 year old with brain cancer

Post by Pia »

Hi everyone - I posted this on the off topic forum but spent more time on his blog today and after crying thought I would post over here as well.

http://masonarik.blogspot.com

The above site is about Mason, a 9yr old that was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous brain tumor, his family is helping him gather valentines, postcards or notes from all cities in the 50 states and any other countries. Could you take a couple of minutes to send a little joy from your corner of the world?

His address is :
Mason Kempf
7700 W. 96th Terrace
Overland Park, KS 66212

Thank you

Pia

One will be coming from California. I lost my daughter to brain cancer almost 17 years ago. She was only 5 years old. So my whole heart goes out to Mason and his family. It is a really hard road to travel and as a parent all you want to do is change places with your child. I hope all goes well with treatment. God Bless Mason!

One will be on the way from Michigan. St. Jude is the charity I support. Maybe everyone can send a donation to St. Jude so they can continue to help these young children. I have a 10 year old, and I think my world would come to an end if something like this happens. God bless our little children and thank God for St. Jude Childrens Hospital and all the staff and those that support them.
