Make A Child Smile

I always believe in the concept that if everyone contributed a little, together we could improve the world to be a better place.

Dylan E. is 5 years old, and he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia last year. According to his mother, Diane, so far everything has gone well for his treatment. He had a couple ER runs because of fevers, but they were taken care of quickly. There was no infections. Dylan has gone through most of the difficult chemotherapy and has been delayed a few times due to low counts. He will be starting maintenance chemotherapy soon and will be doing that for the next 2 ½ years. I strongly believe our encouraging words could give Dylan a wider smile and also make his treatment less painful (remember how happy we were when we received homemade get well cards from classmates when we were on sick leave).

Your greetings card doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. Diane would appreciate if we could send simple, meaningful words (Dylan is learning to read now) to motivate Dylan. Dylan address is:

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more blessed than you imagined - The Make A Child Smile Organization
