Description:

I am a supporter of a small organization that surprises children with various pediatric cancers with mail while they are receiving treatment, called Magical Fairy Missions.

Their most recent request is for Emma, who is just finishing up treatment for DIPG in New York, is turning 6 on June 4th, and I know it will BRIGHTEN HER (and her parents) WORLD to receive lots of Birthday cards.

For this swap you will send a birthday card (handmade or store-bought, senders choice) to Emma. Please feel free to send a small gift if you would like, but this is by no means a requirement.

You will also send a greeting card or postcard to your partner for rating.

I am making this a US only swap, to keep shipping costs down, but feel free to send a card to the address above if you are international and would like to do so.

Please no flakers. I will angel if needed, but I am hoping I won't have to.

I would like to send Emma a card, but not participate in the swap. Can I? And if so, can you message her address to me?

@institches Absolutely, the address is in the photo:

Emma Marques PO Box 952056 Lake Mary, FL 32746

Thank you :)

Do you think she would like some stickers, too?

hull33 05/27/2015 #

Can we send her a present to with the card?

StaceyLynn 05/27/2015 #

@hull33 and @owlsinathens I think she and her parents would greatly appreciate that. You are welcome to do so. I have edited the description to include that option. :)

I will not be joining this swap but sent Emma a card and some stickers. My grand daughter Emma just turned 7 on May 24th. What a terrific act of kindness.

will be honored to send card to Emma. Would like to see more swaps like this. Until you are sick, you don't realize how much a card means to you. It really does brighten your day, and make everything you go thru so worthwhile. Gods blessings on you for hosting this wonderful swap.

This was so much fun! I really enjoyed shopping at the dollar store for lots of little treasures for Emma. I am interested in learning more about Magical Fairy Missions please.

I would like tp send emma a gift to but its not necessary for me to receive a card back. Is that ok? Thanks Tammy

When I took the package to the post office, the postman said that was the wrong zip code. He changed it and I truly hope it makes it to Emma! I sent her a handmade card, Frozen dress/nightgown & a little Frozen journal. It was so fun shopping and putting it together. Thanks for hosting this and it would be great to see more like this! Is there any way I can find out if she gets my package, since the postman changed the zip code? Thank you again!
