I am thrilled to announce that Send a Smile 4 Kids has just added two more volunteers who will be accepting your handmade cards for kids who are inpatient at three Texas children's hospitals!
Texas is a big state and both of our new Texas volunteers recently stepped up to help these kids even though where they both live is still dealing with the aftermath of the recent hurricane.
Please help me welcome Jill Blasche and Cyndi Amaya! Their beautiful faces are over on the right and their addresses have been added to the Contact Us page.
Jill Blasche will be accepting cards for the kids at Texas Children's Hospital-The Woodlands Campus in Woodlands Texas. The address to send her cards for the kids is:
Send a Smile 4 Kids c/o Jill Blasche
7118 Palisades Hts. Dr.
Houston TX 77095
Jill also has a friend who will be helping her in accepting and organizing the cards and her name is Jan Kloss. We thank both Jill and Jan for stepping up to help cheer more kids!
Cyndi Amaya will be accepting cards for the kids in the Children's Hospital of San Antonio and the Christus Santa Rose-New Braunfels Hospital. SAS4Kids thanks Cyndi for volunteering too!
Her address is:
Send a Smile 4 Kids c/o Cyndi Amaya
12122 Upton Park
San Antonio, TX 78253
Cyndi did mention that her hospital was looking for some "Congrats- You are going home" cards. Otherwise, right now both our new volunteers will need all kinds of cards including cheery everyday cards, thank you cards, birthday cards and of course the upcoming holiday cards especially Christmas and Happy Holidays cards.
All of our volunteers need Fall and Halloween cards (Non-Scary!) if you can get them to them by early or mid October. And then we would like all the kids in the children's hospitals we serve to receive a Christmas or Happy Holidays card and to be able to choose some for the medical staff or to send to relatives they are missing if they are in the hospitals on Christmas or Hanukkah or the holiday season.
We thank you all for the cards sent and hope all the volunteers receive enough cards to help put smiles on many children's faces now and into the new year.
Sending smiles 4 Kids, Karen
