Unusual Request

[Sol]

Thank you Larry.!

I actually learned something from this. I had no idea what a stamp cost although I did remember where it went on the envelope. When you think about it nobody uses snail mail. You can pay your bills on line and send somebody a note and get a responce back the same day. We have a breakdown and I take a pic of the part and send a pic of the data plate and you're back in business. Although, on the other hand, it does remove some of the human aspect to correspondence. The important thing here, this young man gets a pile of cards.

UPDATE:

We have not heard much from the family this week as Keenan is in the hospital preparing for another surgery. His Mom did report that cards and letters are rolling in and he “LOVEs them all”. She sends her thanks to all of you out there for your “kindness and love”. She has also asked that we keep them coming as they continue this journey.

Keenan’s second surgery is in the past. Two additional tumors have been removed. We don’t know what the next course of action is for our young friend.

His Mother wants all of you to know that all of your cards and letters are Keenan’s main focus right know. He looks forward to them and is happy to have them coming in.

She sends her thanks to all of you. She asked that you please spread the thanks to everyone in your circles that has worked to make this wish come true.

Please feel free to share this update with your circle of love that is making this happen.

How is keenan doing?

Keenan is home. Still recovering from the last surgery. No one is sure right now what the next step in treatment is. Its my understanding that his brain need to heal. It sound like they will no something in April.

I can say that Keenan is enjoying all the notes and cards. His Mom has said that his high point of the day is the mail delivery.

His family has made a map of the world and he is marking each card with a pin. Right now he is not able to place the pin well so he is just getting as close as he can. I will ask for a photo of the map at some point when they have some clearer direction.

His Mom has asked me to let you know how grateful she is for you kindness and caring. She cannot thank you enough. Nor can I.

We wish him well. Hopefully all of the fine men and women on here can help fill that map for him.
