FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Emma Ritter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 2008 and has been in and out of the hospital ever since.
And that is where she will be, when she turns seven next Monday. For her birthday- all she wants is 100 cards. So, her family and friends have begun an online effort to make it happen.
They are asking everyone to send uplifting messages, or even doodles from your young ones to lift her spirits.
Cards can be sent to: Emma Ritter room 506 C/O Children's Hospital Central California 9300 Valley Children's Place Madera, ca 93636
If you don't have time to get to the post office, you can send her an email by clicking here: www.childrenscentralcal.org

The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)DU has been raging (lots of posts) about the rolling stone cover. The joke was about DU.....
*pours ya a drink* Back in my day we didn't have computers and when we wanted to send a card we had to walk up hill to shovel snow to make the money to buy the card, then walk uphill again to buy the card and once more to mail it (post office was a place to post things....).

(1,537 posts)Snark. Sideways snark involving a kid. Actually, don't have a drink. I like your posts but I have no idea where your head is at.
stevil

For some reason, I ALWAYS know, before I read these posts, when it's about a CF child. Strange intuition.
