Dear Friends...
I know this post is long, but please read....
Today I write to you to ask your help....I'm trying to gather a collection of Get Well, Thinking of You, Happy Day cards for my husband's young cousin. My husband's young cousin, Carli Slack,
is 16 yrs old and has been in St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Tampa since July 2008. Carli is a very sick young girl...Carli was originally diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. During the long course of chemo treatments, surgeries, and pain numbing medication Carli has also endured something called Fungus Mucor....For those of you who know what Fungus Mucor is, please go ahead and catch your breath - For those of you who don't, Fungus Mucor is, basically, an everyday household fungus - just like the stuff that grows on your walls. However in very immnosuppressed individuals people can develop fungus mucor on their organs and the fungus basically just eats away at the healthy tissue until the organ is completely overrun by the fungus. Until now, Fungus Mucor has been 100% fatal. Carli has been a miracle in that sense...She has been able to withstand the Fungus, but has developed lots of other issues due to the damage it has done...The doctor's aren't even 100% sure the fungus has completely gone...
My Mother-In-Law (and Carli's Aunt), who is a survivor of breast cancer, TWICE,
knows just how it feels to be so sick and so close to death. She has taken it as her mission to send Carli a card just about every day. Well, Benna has found out that Hallmark, American Greetings, etc only has so many cards and is starting to have to send duplicates. I'm sending out a call to all of my stamping friends to donate cards to Carli's cause....One card or ten cards...whatever you can donate. Please check out Carli's website at www.carlislack.page.tl. Once on the home page, click on the link, on the left, called Carli's weekly updates...The updates are no longer weekly, but sometimes daily...because at this point every day is a blessing...Scroll down to the post on 11/10/08 to see all the cards sent by my Mother-In-Law....
Please help me add a little more sunshine into this beautiful girl's young life - We don't know how much longer she will be able to stay with us on earth...Every day I check her website with baited breath praying for good news...
If you are interested in helping, please comment on this post...
Thanks Everyone
