Cards for Victoria... Can you help?
Victoria has cancer. Her teacher is trying to get cards sent to her from everywhere around the world. I heard about this from a blog by a US SU! demonstrator. Here is a copy of the email from Victoria's teacher:
1. I want Victoria to receive cards and letters from EVERY STATE in the USA. This means WE - me and you, have to send out these emails to all our friends and relatives all over the country and get them on board with us.
2. I'm going to get a map for Victoria so she can map every piece of mail she gets. I think it would be so neat to see how far her name can travel.
3. We have to enlist everyone we know to send her a card. Suggestions I thought about: Sunday School classes, classrooms at school, organizations and groups you are a member of, clubs, workplaces, dr. offices, neighborhoods and the list can go on and on - USE YOUR IMAGINATION! All we would have to do is purchase several cards, take them with us wherever we go and have the people we come in contact with simply sign it as a way of letting Victoria know we are all praying for her.
4. Now, here's the challenging part. I want us to do this within the next 2 weeks AND I want Victoria to receive 5000 cards and letters during this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is only 100 cards from EACH state! I want the mailman to drop off bags of letters to 1205 Red Bud Circle.
5. Emails don't count - only snail mail!!! (I know, you might have to buy some stamps!!!!)
6. Homemade cards are great too! Anything that can be sent via the US postal service.
7. EVERY card MUST include the city and state from which it was sent. ( And if possible, a little bit about the people from whom the card was sent!)
8. As a teacher, I must give you a due date: All cards and letters must be sent by September 27, 2007 to be included in this project.
9. You can mail your cards and letters to:
Victoria Enmon
1205 Red Bud Circle
Orange, TX 77632
10. Let's have fun with this! Get out there and send some mail!
Wouldn't it be awesome to exceed 5000 letters from ALL over the world!!! We can do it! Help me bring something fun and different into the life of this precious little lady! I want this to be something you pass along to your friends and family across the nation, encouraging them to pray for Victoria. Enlist people of ALL ages - from the youngest to the oldest - everyone can get involved!!! Think about where you go (dance, football practice, church, school, work, birthday parties, etc.) and use your imagination to get people involved. Buy some cards and send them with your children to their events and make this a family assignment! Have fun most of all!!!Remember: A nation that prays together ,stays together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
