https://gma.yahoo.com/does-mass-boy-battling-cancer-want-birthday-bunch-215700731--abc-news-health.html?soc_src=mediacontentsharebuttons

Just wondering.  I am.  Sorry if its a dupe.

"A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy battling cancer said all he wants for his upcoming birthday is a box of birthday cards.

Danny Nickerson, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, will turn six on July 25. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor this past October -- one of the most chemotherapy-resistant cancers. As a result, he has since stopped going to kindergarten.

The boy gets lonely from time to time, and is always happy to get cards with his name written on them."




Address 2 posts below. His birthday is July 25th. Let's fill up the mailbox post office.


[div]ETA:  Looks like Amazon will ship USPS to PO Boxes for those of you interested.  Let's Make this little guy have a birthday he won't forget.

Going to the store to pick up cards, Legos and Super Mario products.

I worked closely with a 16 yo girl who was struck down in the prime of her life by a brain tumor.  To see what her and her family went through still leaves me questioning why these things happen.

My heart goes out to this young man, I pray that he can beat the odds.

Depends on the size of the item. I've received small things via USPS in bubble wrap containers.

This kid needs more than a birthday card!

I hope they have a big enough vehicle to contain the generosity of "Arfcoms Angels"

Looks like they'll ship usps for po box orders. Should be there on Wednesday.
