The title of this post comes from an entry on the blog of a friend of mine from high school who blogs under the alias Sioux. He recently posted a simple request: A member of his extended family is dying of leukemia. Doctors have apparently deemed him beyond treatment, and to keep his mind off the inevitable, he has started collecting postcards from places near and far. He is eight years old.

If you’d like to brighten the day of a dying child by sending him a postcard or two, simply leave us a comment on this post or send us an email, and we will forward you his address (the boy lives in Poland). According to Sioux, “Just a quick greeting is all that’s needed and you can be as anonymous as you like.”

Please feel free to replicate and/or reference this post on your own blog.

Update: My friend Betty, whom Sioux and I both had as our French teacher, has put up a similar post: Plea for Postcards.
