Cards for Eric

Hello All, As most of you know Jennifer McGuire has received an AMAZING amount of cards for Kate. She was so amazed by all the cards and had decided to bring another child into her card drive. So if you want to make more cards you can make them for Eric. Jennifer said ,”If you have already sent cards, those will go to Kate and her family. But any future ones – it would be great if they were made for Eric and his family. (You will be eligible for the same prizes.) In hopes that we can get cards for him, too, we will extend the deadline just a touch – the prizes will be drawn on October 31 – so you have time to get them in before we pick prize winners.”

Here is the info on Eric…

Eric’s dad works with my husband and they are the nicest family! Unfortunately Eric has ALD. (ALD is an inherited recessive genetic disorder linked to the X chromosome. The 1992 movie “Lorenzo’s Oil” brought this rare disorder to the world’s attention.) He was diagnosed on May 18th, and his little brother received the same diagnosis on May 29th. For information and updates on Eric, you can visit his website HERE.

Eric’s mom, Leslie says, “Eric is a fighter and he has endured a tremendous amount. I am confident that he will not surrender. The docs have not thrown the towel in and we have not either… so pray hard everyone because we really do need a miracle.”

Eric will be 9 on 10/26. He has a sister (Rachel – 7) and brother (Jacob – 5). His dad is Bob and his mom is Leslie.

All the “guidelines,” mailing info, etc is the same as for Kate. You can find it all HERE. Again, we would love it if you mailed the cards to arrive here by October 31.

So please it would be so wonderful if you could find the time to make a card for Eric and his family – that would be wonderful. I know that your cards will really touch this family and bring some sunshine that they really need.

Thanks so much! Hugs,Kathy

P.S. Leslie LOVES anything and everything creative…she will be in awe of the creativity !
