This email is from a local friend of mine. I have edited the child's name for privacy.
With her permission, I am posting this here. If you're willing to help out, email me at AmiMental@gmail.com for further information. Because of the aforementioned privacy, I will only give the address to people who have posted comments here regularly and/or have blogs I've visited long enough to know you're not totally insane... or that you're at least as sane as I am. :)
I have a Big favor to ask. I have a 12 yr old Cousin in Missouri that is working on a school project, and could really use our help.
She is trying to collect postcards from All 50 States, as well as any Foreign Countries as well. Her whole class is doing this project, and while it's not a competition, I know A feels a bit worried.
A has come from a very troubled background.
There was some stuff in the email here that the whole world doesn't need to know, so I edited it out.
A is a beautiful, bright little girl who doesn't realize that she has family and people who care about her OUTSIDE of KC. I want her to see that sometimes when you ask for help from others, they come through for you!
So, with that being said, I can tell you which States I have covered... Oregon, Washington, California, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, Kansas, WV, Colorado and Illinois. I have an internet friend in India, and a past foreign exchange student in Panama that have both agreed to send a postcard to A.
If you have family or friends who would be willing to help out, please pass on the following address.
Thanks to all my imaginary internet friends who are willing to do this. Email me for address.
:)
Why don't you email me on gillian@homemakers-sa.co.za and I'll send her one from South Africa.
