A week ago I asked for help with a semi-secret project and I'd like to now share that project. A week ago is when we found out about Ethan and his prognosis. About a week before that my mom asked me to help her contact people and ask them to help us shower Ethan with birthday cards. When we learned that his time was limited we knew we had to act quickly. So we both posted to Facebook (blocking his parents and other family from seeing the posts) and asked for birthday cards to be sent to us to deliver to Ethan. Over the weekend I collected several cards which we delivered on Sunday. Over the next few days I collected even more cards, about two dozen that I took to Ethan on Wednesday so he would have them for his birthday celebration on Thursday. I'm am happy to report that the cards continue to roll in and I will continue to deliver them as long as they keep coming. I feel blessed to be able to help in this smallest of ways and to make these days just the tiniest bit brighter for Ethan and his wonderful family.
The story has gone national!
