I posted this on Instagram and wanted to also post it here. I've attached a picture. A 5 year old boy with a inoperable brain tumor has a birthday on July 25th. His only wish is to get a mailbox full of birthday cards. I thought hey this is right up our ally. So let's give this boy what he wants.

Just because I am deeply sceptical (and also because of stories like this:  http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/shergold.asp  where the request to send cards was years ago and is now just a pain to anyone involved)  -- I did some quick googling and this seems to be both real and current. 

I suspect he is already receiving about a million cards, since Reddit is involved ... but I bet ours would be prettier ;)  I'm in!

Glad you reposted it here, Nickki!  Not sure how you did that, but awfully glad you did.  I saw Elsa's request on IG yesterday and I've been working on something, though I don't know if there's really time for that.  I think it needs to go in the post today.

Oh Moya thank you for making sure it was real. I was worried all night that maybe it was some old request. But of course I didn't think about that when I posted 😁
Mine will go out today as well.
