This is from my PGR board from a member that goes by Smiling Susan this has been verified through the medical facility and it is not for any money just a post card or letter.

From Susan:

A friend from work has asked me if I can help a sick child who has inoperable brain cancer fulfill a wish. The child, Rachel Newton, would like to have a post card or letter, postmarked from as many places in the world as she can get. She hopes to mirror the response given to another child whose wish was the same.

Please, take the time to send a note to Rachel. This would certainly brighten Rachel's day.

(PS. Her father is Air Force)
Rachel Newton
2191-A White Ct
Andrews AFB, MD
20762 USA

There is some urgency to this request so please do not put this off.

FYI - you can rest assured this is not a scam that you see in email from time to time. The person who made this request to me is a personal friend. She was holding her hand when Rachel made the request. Please send a quick post of prayers and whether or not you will be able to send a post card. I would like print out our thoughts and prayers and send them to her parents. Thank you!

Well, I happen to have an extra Tampa postcard in my car. :-) A little girl in CA's mother wrote me about a thing they were doing at school, so I sent one to her, and hey, they were 2 for $1.00. :-) They got every state in the union except for AL and Maine!

I'll send it tomorrow. Hope she gets a bunch!
