Quotes
"Post pals came into our lives a year ago, when our daughter who was 3 was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Caitlin had been through an awful time with her illness, and what Post pals did for us was show us that there were people out there who cared and gave Caitlin something to look forward too. Our daughters face lights up with delight when she recieves something from them, brothers and sisters are also remembered. Post pals has made a huge difference in our lives. A wonderful thing done by a team of wonderful people!"- Julie, Mum to Caitlin, aged 3, Cystic Fibrosis
"What can I say about Post Pals well Amy is delighted to know there are people out there that care enough to send a child they dont even know a card or letter or stickers and presents.She always looks on the mat every morning to see if she has any post and loves opening her mail.At christmas she is overjoyed to receive a box from her christmas postie pal and makes sure she sends an email and picture to them so they know its arrived and its nice to send someone something back after they have cared so much to go out and shop for small things for her for christmas. The boys also love receiving cards and things in the post and it dosent make them feel left out either.And it puts back some faith into us that people do really care not just the staff at her hopsital and family but people out in the world do actually read what the kids put on Post Pals and take time out to read about the illness they have and go out and get cards or sit and write to a child they dont even know some people do really care out there"- Louise, Mum to Amy P, aged 9 Diamond Blackfan Anemia
"As a parent thought- well, I can only say how very touched I am. I can see that loads of effort goes into this project and many support you. the monthly little art themes are fantastic and in our house, Eleanor (8) makes them up, and we put them in Harry's room. we talk to Harry about them, show him, point to colours, say who sent them etc. WE like to think, Harry looks and perhaps understands a little. Luckily most disabled children are not as severe as Harry, but in OUR life POST PALS makes a huge dufference"- Suzanne, Mum to Harry G, aged 4, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
"I love opening all of the cards and presents, and can't wait to get home from school to see what the Postman has delievered"- Nicole B, aged 5, Spinal Fibro Sarcoma Tumour
