Dragon card for Ariel

A few weeks or so ago I followed the Operation Nice Blog Hop and along the way I found the link to a very special site. It is called Make A Child Smile. I have been looking for more ways to do "good" in my life and really want to do some volunteer work. But in the area I live in there is hardly anything to do. I actually called a food pantry and they said they couldn't use my help...already had all the people they needed!! I was surprised that I couldn't do SOMETHING...ANYTHING! So I was so happy to find this website!!! I work at a school and just love kids so reading the stories of the chronically ill children is heartbreaking. There is alot of information on the site and each child has a website that tells their medical situation along with family and likes/dislikes. They ask that you mail a card and if you want a gift is optional (Make sure to read the Do's and Dont's on the site). You don't have to committ to a certain number you can do one and stop. You don't have to spend a certain amount of money or even keep in contact with the family. ANYONE can do this!! I plan on helping as much as I can...right now I am making cards and I already got my husband on board to help. We are going to try and pick up a few gifts to send along with the cards. These kids have been dealt a very difficult life so far and I feel very fortunate I don't have any of these medical problems so the least I could do is MAKE THEM SMILE!! Maybe my contribution will perk up their spirits and brighten their day...that is my hope! And I hope anyone who reads this atleast thinks about giving it a try! Thanks for reading! :)
