A Look Back...

Aliyanna was a few days

old when she had surgery
to remove a painful spinal
tumor. The tumor soon
grew back. She
participated in a clinical
trial for a drug designed
to halt her growing
cancer.

Guidelines
Cards should contain general uplifting
messages and refrain from messages such
as ‘Get Well’, ‘Feel Better’ or anything
medical and pertaining to the hospital.
Some patients suffer from medical
conditions that are chronic, life-long,
progressive and/or terminal.
Messages should focus on the child,
rather than their illness.
Children’s welcomes people all cultures,
beliefs, religions and for these reasons ask
that messages and artwork be generic and
nonspecific to all who may receive one.
Card Messages
• Since we do not yet know the child's name, please make sure that cards are not addressed to a specific person.

• Here are some Suggestion:

"Hey there" "Hi!" "To: a very special person"

• Uplifting message can include:

You are awesome You rock You shine brighter than the sun
You inspire me I believe in YOU Thinking of you
Sending you Sunny Smiles Just want to say Hi Hope to brighten your day

• Pictures and drawings should reflect these themes as well.

• Please do not include personal information such as phone numbers, address, email address etc. We are
unable to distribute cards with this information. It fine to sign your first name on the card. (Please do not add
