Just found this on Cute'n Clever Coupon Clippers of Hersheyblog,

This little girl is a cutie with a couple weeks to live, all she really wants is Christmas cards--so please if you want to make her Christmas send her a Christmas Card! Apparently she's at the Hershey Med Center right now.

If you would like to help with her wish, you can send a card to her at:
Hannah Garman
704 Orchard
RdLititz , PA 17543

Here is her story:
This is the true story of a 5-yr old Lititz girl, Hannah Garman, who was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor. She has been given 12 weeks to live and is currently in her 7th week. She was going to be the flower girl at a wedding in May, but was diagnosed a week after we asked her to be the flowergirl. This is especially sad because her mother died 2 yrs ago from breast cancer. Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to a bed and cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting from people, but she LOVES getting cards - she has gotten so many from people she does not know and just loves to have grandma read about the people who send them and see their pictures and she is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards. When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family.There are school groups where children are making her cards. People are including pictures so she can see who it is that is sending her the card.

THANKS!

Feel free to pass this along to your own prayer group,church, school, etc. Let's see if we can have the cards coming in big postal bags for her this Christmas, since it will be her last holiday.

. . . We just heard more accurate details about Hannah through her grandmother, Mrs. Robert Garman. Hannah's father is Darren Garman and she has 2 older siblings, ages 9 and 12. Hannah does not yet know her diagnosis. She is 4 years old with a birthday coming up in January. At this time, Hannah is able to kick her legs, help pull herself up in bed, can put weight on one leg, but is unable to put the other one down, sit in a wheel chair, can open her own cards with a little help (she received 30 today), play with play dough, color, and do crafts. She is unable to walk and her head falls to one side.The drain didn't work so they put a shunt in which has relieved her of her headaches. Today was a good day for Hannah. She is going to Hershey Hospital tomorrow to have a port put in. Interesting history is that Hannah's mother had bone cancer at age 13. She had breast cancer while carrying Hannah and she was told that Hannah would be abnormal. Instead Hannah has been a very brilliant child. Let's brighten her days with cards!

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

Well I just got a phone call from my brother Cody today inviting me to an open house...He's getting married. This Friday him and his girlfreind set a date to go to the court house to get hitchted and have an open house at her grandparents after wards. A little shocking to me but I guess when your heart desires something you do it.

LeFt HoMe

The weekend before Thanksgiving my mom and I were suppose to take my grandma to Las Vegas. My grandma goes to Vegas every Fall to spend her winter out of the snow she stays with my Aunt Sue and Uncle Steve. Well grandma got really sick with the stomach flu so we weren’t able to make it that weekend. On Wednesday before Thanksgiving day they left and made it down for the holiday. The only bad thing was I wasn’t able to go and leave my family home alone for Thanksgiving. But she did bring picutures back.

This is Aunt Sue

And Uncle Steve

And their daughter Dana

This is my Uncle Preston. He is a motor cop in Vegas.

Uncle Preston and Grandma
