JULY 2016 Mission- CARDS FOR A CAUSE

[MicheleUke]

I sent out ten cards of a general nature two days ago. I did not have more specific appropriate stamps.

I am new to Splitcoaststampers and was thrilled to see this particular thread. Approximately two weeks ago, I mailed 20 cards to this month's cause and received a lovely letter of appreciation today. Although my focus has been on cards for our local children's hospital, I love the switch to adults who could also use happy mail. Thank you so much for the opportunity to contribute, and I look forward to continued participation.

I mailed out 12 cards today .

I ended up sending a package with about 20 cards and envelopes. Great way to use spare cards from classes, etc.

Apologies for being late! I've just boxed up 24 cards, and will be dropping at Post Office tomorrow. Tracking number: 9405803699300282643643

[bensarmom]

No need to apologize Traingina, cards will be accepted anytime, there's no time limit. Thank you so much for blessing them with cards.

[adopted2]

20 cards went out Friday to this great cause!

[bensarmom]

Thank you adopted2. They will truly be appreciated..

[russnzella]

I received the nicest thank you letter!! They are never expected but always appreciated.

It's been a rough week for us...last Thurs we had to put our girl kitty to sleep...it was totally unexpected. We thought we were going to bandage a paw with a boo-boo...next thing we know she was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia, FIV, and heartworm. We were heartbroken. But she lived 9 1/2 years with us (we took her in when she was 6 months old - she was a feral stray). She was so sweet to us but she didn't like anyone else. We had to have our male cat tested on Saturday to see if he had it - and he didn't - Thank you Jesus!

so very sorry Zella, thankful the male is ok....(((hugs)))

You ladies rock! Look at what I received from Jennifer today.

Hi Sue,

Just a quick email to share how God is working through you and what an incredible impact your group is having on youth at DJJ! We�ve received over 600 beautiful handmade cards from across the country from Florida, Kentucky, Arizona, California, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, Illinois, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania! Each package brings cheers from staff and true smiles from kids. It�s incredible to see youth have the opportunity to send heart felt sentiments to their loved ones. Cards for a Cause is making that happen! SO SO SO HAPPY AND SO SO SO GRATEFUL!

Well, we�re off to send some congratulations cards. Today 79 of our youth will receive high school diplomas/GEDs that they earned while at the Department of Juvenile Justice! J Thank you for helping us celebrate!

Sincerely,


Jennifer Wallace

I'm back again....this time I'm asking for prayer from all of you who believe in the power of prayer. My nephew is in need of prayer right now - long story short is that he tried to commit suicide, was found, in a coma, woke up a bit, MRI shows very slow brain activity, doctor not giving much hope. He's 36 years old. He needs a miracle.

[bensarmom]

Julie, your cards are gorgeous! I love that paper. Thank you for making cards that will bless so many ohter.

I sent a medium priority mail box full of cards earlier in July, and received a thank-you letter and a hand written note. Never expected that!
