"Postpals is a fantastic idea. Sam loves opening his post, all the lovely cards and gifts have brightened many an otherwise grey day. Everyone has been so kind and caring, and it means alot to us."- Emma, Mum to Sam M aged 3, Epilepsy

"Anna-Mae gets such enormous pleasure from receiving mail from all around the world; it’s difficult to put into words. She see's the people that sends mail as her friends, and because of this her confidence has grown. It has even opened a door for making friends at school, as she takes her mail into school to show her class so making an opening to talk about herself and her problems in a very positive way. Her confidence in herself and her abilities has also grown, as she loves to reply to the mail. (time allowing)"- Anne, Mum to Anna Mae C, aged 10, Charcot-Marie-Tooth

"I think postpals is great. I'm blind so not many people send me post. When I get home from boarding school on Fridays I love getting my postpals mail and presents, its the best thing about the weekend. My mum reads everything to me and I've made lots of new friends all over England."- Stephanie W, aged 15, Juvenile Battern Disease

"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
