There's a lady on an animal chat board whose great grandmother is going to be 104 on Feb 2. The great granddaughter is trying to get 105 cards, 104 for each year her great grandmother has lived and one to 'grow'
on.

I took part in it last year and the granddaughter posted pictures showing how many cards she received and how the cards really made her great grandmother's day. She still looks at the cards whenever she feels a bit down and was so shocked by not only the number of cards, but where they were sent from.

She only got about 90 cards last year and hopes to have better success this year. So far this year the granddaughter has only received 14 cards for her grandmother.

Would you be willing to send a card to help her reach her goal?

All you have to do is just sign a card or just simply put "Happy Birthday from [your state/town]" oh, and mail it too.

Her birthday is Feb 2.

If you are interested let me know & I'll send you the
address!

THANKS!

Yes, it makes me feel good too. I am trying to think of what kind of small gift I might also send to her. I don't really know anything else about her.

That is totally awesome! I am trying to find out if she is diabetic because I would like to send some Pepperridge Farm cookies.

Haha, yeah it would be a good idea to find out if she can eat them. The name you gave me, is that her name or her granddaughter's name?
