Birthday Cards for Boy With Brain Tumor
Hello friends,
I was just browsing some wishes on Wish Upon A Hero and came across this one http://wishuponahero.com/wishes/?id=463957. I have copied and pasted it below.
Hello everyone, my son who will be turning 8 this month (Dec.16th) would like to make a request for people to send him birthday cards. He is trying to see how many he can get. So we will be counting them together, then putting them into a photo album for him to keep. (They can arrive later then his actual birthday)
Devin has a Astrocytoma Brain tumor and has not been feeling to good lately, so he asked if I would do this for him and of course I said yes. So we have had to slow down a little on our home schooling and work around how he is feeling and do more on his good days. So the cards would really cheer him up as well. Devin's considered Terminal as his tumor can't be removed its in the brain stem. We are right now looking for a wheelchair for him and the Dr's have said that after he was placed in the wheelchair it would more then likely be a year after that we will lose him to his battle. However, we take that with a grain of salt as we have heard it before and he fights hard to stay here with us, he is just an amazing little boy. So if you would like to send him a card you can mail it to:
Debbie Schuster
C/O Devin
P.O. Box 1962
Kenosha, Wi. 53141-1962
If you would like to pass this along in other groups that would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I'm sure it would put a big smile on this little guys face to be flooded with cards. Thanks for reading. :)
