5 Easy Steps to Brighten a Sick Child's Day
- 1. Click on a Child's face or select "Find Pals"
- Read their page (each child has one page)
- Write a card, letter, Email, sign their guestbook or even send a gift to the child and post it to the address on their page (NB this is not the child's home address, but a forwarding one). Please don't expect a reply.

Quotes
"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
"We would like to thank Post Pals for all the support and that the Posty means a lot to Matthew and we will never forget the trip to RAF St Mawgan organised by Post Pals. When your child is ill and your feeling low, its reassuring to know that there are people who are thinking of you"- Jackie and Andrew, parents to Matty W, aged 9, Acute Myloid Leukaemia
"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
