6-year-old girl asks for holiday cards for her last Christmas

Saw this on a Facebook post from Today.

Addie Fausett, 6, of Fountain Green, Utah, is likely celebrating her last Christmas this year due to an atrophy of her brain that has left doctors puzzled. And in the face of devastating news, her family has come up with a beautiful idea: They are asking people to send Addie a “lifetime of Christmas cards.”

Cards should be addressed to Addie as well as her older sisters. “They are going through a hard time, too,” Brosig says. “We are encouraging the public to reach out to them as well.”

If you’d like to contribute a greeting, send it to:

Addie Lynn and Sisters, P.O. Box 162, Fountain Green, UT 84632

(ETA) For those who are impatient to find out what this is all about, skip to the 5:00 minute mark and watch from there.

She sure isn't asking for much. I might even throw in a Frozen doll. I am very touched by her story. If it is a fake....oh well.
