Our virtual friend Melissa--a fellow parent of a kiddo with SMA--has a special request for anyone in the world who wants to participate. Her ten year old daughter, Satori, is scheduled for full spinal fusion surgery at the end of this month. (Spinal fusion surgery helps to correct scoliosis, which is a common problem in people with neuromuscular disease.)
They expect to be in the hospital for 1-2 weeks, and Melissa is planning a surprise for Satori: she's asking anyone and everyone to mail her a get well postcard to the hospital during her stay. There's been a very positive response from the Twitter and Etsy communities, and by the looks of it Tori is going to be bombarded with fun postcards from all the over the world to read while she recuperates!
If you would like to participate, find all the details in Melissa's blog. Please note, per Melissa's instructions, the postcards need to be carefully addressed to the children's hospital at UC Davis (details can be found in Melissa's blog), and the postcards shouldn't arrive to the hospital before March 31st.
We can't wait for Melissa to eventually post photos of all the postcards! You can also follow Melissa on Twitter and fan her Haut Totes page on Facebook.
