Default Cards????

Hi all, I have a favor to ask, Ty has a friend that he knew from before he went to prison & it ends up they are in the same dorm now. His family has not written him , called or visited him. He is very sad & depressed, so I was wondering if maybe we could all write him a note just to keep his head up. It has to be hard when your family gives up on you. I write him, & am going to do a viso form on him so when we get Ty out he can come to. But I think it would do him good to know someone cares.....With the Holidays coming it I know it will be a sad time for him....(He can have puzzles up to 5 in each letter,plus 10 stamps, 10 blank papers & envolpes)Thank You so much in advance!!!!! HUGS & LOVE

Thanks for the update Lyne. I can't even imagine enduring being in prison without some kind of outside contact. I was so glad to do it for him. I've added his name on my Christmas list as well.
