Description:

This is a postcard project and I am hoping to get the biggest number of participants ever on Swapbot. Please help me reach the stars.

Have you ever been taken by someone story and courage to the point where you are touched to the core. Let me tell you about an angel and her battle. I need your help create the biggest postcard album to bring happiness and smiles in her difficult life.

CAMRYN HUNTER is a tiny little girl who was diagnosed with Acute Myelod Leukemia in 2011. I know about her precious battle because her grandparents are my neighbours. The cancer is a rare form and the treatments are taking quite a toll on the life of this 4 years old child and her family. She received a bone marrow transplant this year, but for some reason,it has gone dormant! This mean, more chemo and another transplant coming up before Christmas. My little friend will not be able to celebrate Christmas with her family. She will be in isolation.

The project I have in mind is simple. You will send a postcard to Camryn. This has to be suitable for a small child. Girly or cute animals would do.

At the back of your card write a simple child prayer, a song, a rhyme, a riddle, a child's drawing or a little message to make her smile. No sickness related comments. Let's keep it to the HOPE/ COURAGE theme. When the cards will be received, they will be placed in an album or box for Camryn. She will be able to keep them with her.

You can learn more about Camryn on this link. Is has not been updated recently because of all the hospital runs. She has a little brother too, but I will likely organize a swap for him in the new year: http://camrynscourage.com/

For your partner on swapbot, please send a nice postcard with a story about a happy moment in your life. The kind of moment that make you smile just to think about it.

It is ok to send your postcard right away to Camryn. While in isolation her mother will likely start to read them to her.

Please send Camryn's card at her grandparents' address. This is a surprise:

Camryn Hunter

31 Bedell Crescent, Whitby, Ontario, L1R 2N8 Canada

The swap photo is Camryn and her mother Michelle. She is the strongest woman I have ever met.

NO flakers please.

I will be sending out one to Camryn as well.

scottishrosefaerie 12/ 3/2012 #

I will send one to Camryn, but also will not be joining swap. I usually wind up throwing out a p/c after a while, so no sense in doing that!

grstamping 12/ 4/2012 #

Thanks to everyone who is responding. I am going to get a flickr link with the postcards as soon as they get in.

Does anyone know where i could get a princess album?

Not joining, but sending a pc to Camryn

grstamping 12/11/2012 #

Update: Camryn had a second bone marrow and she is on isolation. Some cards have arrived. I haven't seen the yet, but her grandmother Marsha is very excited by the response. Thanks everyone!

bettflow09 12/12/2012 #

I would love to send Camryn a pc, but will not be joining the swap. I am going to go to Zazzle and see about ordering her a card with a child theme and have it sent to her since I don't have access to children's postcards around the small town where I live without driving over an hour to the nearest truck stop. I hope Zazzle will be ok:))) Bless her little heart!!! I am praying the bone marrow transplant will be a huge success:)))

Maggmurp 12/14/2012 #
