"It is a very wonderful thing that people who do not know you, have never spoken to you, can take the time and trouble to make a difference to your life in such a special and significant way. It is not just about receiving a card, so many other things are within it- compassion,warmth,friendship,support and love and we can never truly explain how that helps", Kelly Mum to Chloe G, 7 ALL

"I would like to thank you for doing such a great think by running this amazing website that really makes sick children smile. My daughter Jessie really loves her post and can't wait for a postman every morning. When he knocks on the door she runs to meet him. She loves getting the cards and presents too. Thank you so much again"- Stana, Mum to Jessica M, aged 5, Ganglioneuroblastoma

"Jamie has been spoiled throughout his treatment, with gifts from friends and family. When the Post Pals mail started to come through, I was worried that he wouldn't notice it much, as it was mostly cards. I was surprised that Jamie enjoyed his cards, postcards and letters. He was most thrilled with a valentine's card from someone!!!! I was most touched by a card from a boy in Afghanistan, which was homemade, and simple. On the front was a world, with children holding hands, and it said "Peace" on it."-Kelly, Mum to Jamie, 14/4/2000 - 31/7/2005, Neuroblastoma

"When James was first diagnosed, he was really miserable because of his treatment and subsequently due to some abscesses he developed. One thing that really perked him up was the attention of the Post Pals girls. Apart from the fact that he received cards and gifts, the messages that they wrote gave him the strength to keep himself together. Often the cards were handmade and he was delighted with the effort people had gone to just because he was ill. 2 and half years on, James is still getting cards and his twin sister is good friends with a lot of the girls who sent them. Such a simple idea has paid dividends in contributing to James' recovery. It is said that people who are prayed for stand more chance of recovery, but I believe that those who are supported by people such as the Post Pals team have their chances multiplied 10-fold."- Jon, Dad to James R, aged 12, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
