Default Donate your card mistakes to Cancer Patients

Hi Ladies (and gentlemen). I am a caregiver to a cancer support group at my church's support group to women going through treatment. After I had breast cancer, I wanted to do something to help other ladies so I starting making cards and donating them every month to the support group in my church to send out to the ladies going thru treatment. They are not only women who go to my church, but they are women who our church supports while they are going thru treatment or a family member of theirs going thru treatment.

Right now, I am the only one making the cards for the group. If anyone has any "mistake" cards that they don't know what to do with and are going to throw them away, you can send them to me and I'll either "doctor" them up with glitter, buttons, etc., or use them the way they are, and donate them to the group to send out to the ladies going thru treatment. Or, if you want to send cards that aren't even mistakes, you can do that as well. You can send to me at my office at:

Mary T. Hutchinson
c/o DurretteBradshaw
600 East Main Street, 20th Floor
Richmond, VA 23219

Don't forget the 20th floor on there, or they won't deliver the mail. Also, I can't use any cards that say "get well". We usually send ones that say "thinking of you", or I made ones that are blank inside, and the ladies write an encouraging word to them to let them know they're thinking of them and praying for them. And so, I also wouldn't need b'day, holiday, sympathy, etc. Just blank cards or thinking of you, or anything encouraging type of card, or just a stamped image on the outside of the card, and blank inside. Thanks!!!

Mary

Default Mistake cards for cancer patients

Thanks. I forgot to add (so maybe I should post another message), that I can't use any "get well" or anything like that. We usually just send cards that say "thinking of you", "you're in my prayers", like that. Anything to cheer them up. Don't need any b'day, holiday, sympathy, etc., Just blanks or thinking of you. I can stamp a message on the inside like "thinking of you", or I just make them blank inside. Thanks a lot!

Mary

Happy stamping!!!

I want to help out too, but this week I have company and a big rodeo to work. I'll get one it early next week. This is such a wonderful thing to do. Thanks.

I would love to do this with my stamp club, but we don't meet for 2 weeks. Would it be okay to send them to you in 2 weeks?
