Arrow Send Max a Card :)

There was a story in the local news today about a 12 year old boy from my state with terminal cancer whose wish is to receive 1 million cards. Since this forum has the most caring group of people I've ever come across, I thought I'd pass along his address for anyone who would be interested in helping make his wish come true.

“Mighty” Max Low

c/o Greg and Bambi Low

P.O. Box 111

Neola, Iowa 51559

If not, maybe add him to your prayers; he could use a miracle. Thanks for reading!

Soooo sweet. I, being the mother of of 6 and 4 year old little boys, will be so blessed by sending cards and prayers out to this little angle. Thanx, we are focusing on blessing and helping others where ever we can.

The boy's Reverend (edit: sorry, she is not the boy's reverend) has been writing newspapers to get the word out, here's the posting from a local newspaper: http://ottumwacourier.com/letters/x1...-million-cards

If I find anything more descriptive, like from television news, I will share it.

That's awesome, Cutie!! It sounds like Max and his family truly appreciate each and every card, so hopefully more and more people will participate, not just from 3FC, but from all over the world. So exciting for the little guy!!
