This is going to be a little different than most swaps. There are two parts to this.
Colin PO BOX 756 Richland, MI 49083-0756 Here's the story behind #2: Colin is about to turn 11 on March 9th. Colin was dianosed with sensory processing disorders last year, which are similar to Autism and Asbergers syndrome. Because of his disabilities, social skills are not easy for him. He often acts out in school and the other kids don't like him. When asked if he wanted a party for his birthday, he said there wasn't a point because he has no friends. He eats lunch alone in the office everyday because no one will let him sit with them, and rather than force someone to be unhappy with his presence, he sits alone. His mother created a page on facebook where people could send him positive thoughts and encouraging words and felt that would be better than any birthday party. The page has 1.6 million likes. This is where we come in. I have Colin's address and thought how wonderful it would be for him to get postcards from all over the world wishing him a Happy Birthday! Facebook page in case you'd like to see it: https://www.facebook.com/Coliniseleven Please let me know if you have any questions! Two things to remember- I obviously am not going to know if you sent a card to Colin or not so this is strictly the honor system. You do not need to include your swap bot info on the card to Colin, but you do on the card to your partner. If you have any questions at all please message me. I am opening this up to everyone in hopes that we will get many particpants. I will however filter out anyone who has numerous ratings of 1. Also- this has a quick turn around strictly because I'd like for the postcards to get to Colin before his birthday. |
