Make Little Hannah’s Christmas Wish Come True

I’m a Christmas card slacker, but I’m making an exception this year.

There will be no excuses when it comes to sending one very important card to one very brave little girl named Hannah Faith Garman. 4-year-old Hannah is suffering from an aggressive brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme. Her doctors expect her short life to last only a few more weeks, and her Christmas wish is to get as many cards as she can. A friend of the family writes:

Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bedAnd cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting frompeople, but she LOVES getting cards – she has gotten so many from people she does not know and jus t loves to have grandma read about the people who send Them and see their pictures and is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards.When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see howMany Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school groupswhere children are making her cards. People are including pictures so shecan see who it i s that i s sending her the card.

If you would like to help with her wish, please send her a card at:

Hannah Garman
704 Orchard Rd
Lititz, PA 17543

Hannah’s father Darin posts photos and updates at CaringBridge.com. On Thursday he wrote, “Hannah opens every card we receive and the card is read to her. It is one of the few things she can do while being in bed all day.”

Please take a moment on Sunday or Monday to send a card to let Hannah know how many people are thinking of her and praying for her health. There is also a Hannah Garman benefit fund set up at Ephrata National Bank to help the family with medical expenses.

Thanks to Stacy at Smart Girl Politics for bringing Hannah’s Christmas wish to my attention. Michelle Malkin has more, including a photo gallery of Hannah.

Let’s all help make Hannah’s Christmas wish come true.
