Encouraging Cards for Bullied Kids

Donation protected
Hello everyone! My twins and I run an initiative called The Friend Send.  www.thefriendsend.ca ‌ 
     We started sending out birthday cards to kids who had no one show up to their birthday party. We wanted to let them know there are friends in the world who think they are AWESOME!! We really quickly 'expanded' into sending encouraging cards to kids who were being bullied or going through a rough time. We don't want any child to feel they are alone!!
      Thanks to other wonderful people on Facebook who want to send cards too (many of them the parents of a child who got a card from my kids and I), we have sent out tons of cards - the twins and I have personally written and sent over 440, and to every single province in Canada!! We have even worked with teachers to have entire classrooms send out cards to a kiddo needing some extra support!! 
     I intend to use any money raised here towards the rental of my P.O. Box, where members of my FB group can send their cards - and also to buy stamps so that I am able to then forward these cards to the children (turning 12 or younger) who could really use smiles. The two beautiful kids in the photo here are just two examples of the children who have received cards from The Friend Send - and it has meant as much to them as it has to their parents!!
       Thank you so much for reading this - I hope to keep the smiles, and birthday and kindness cards - going forever!!
