Party Guests

I'm from Maine, and this story out of Bangor, ME broke my heart. A young woman invited several guests to her 18th birthday party last year, and no one attended. Pasted below is her cousin's request for birthday cards to be mailed to Hallee, for her 19th birthday, which is in July. This is circulating around Maine, but can you imagine how wonderful it would be for her to receive mail from all over!?

For this swap - send Hallee a birthday card. Also, send your 1 partner a notecard or greeting card outlining a time in your life that a flood of mail would have been greatly appreciated.
The card to Hallee portion of the swap is on the honor system.

-Must have a 4.00 rating (requirement is a little low since this swap is meant to be a kind gesture more than anything else), open internationally.

Original post: "This is my cousin Hallee. I'd like to tell you a little bit about her... First off, she is a beautiful young woman-both inside and out. She lights up a room with her smile.Hallee is funny, sweet, caring, smart, an athlete, a jigsaw puzzle champion, a wonderful student, and a best friend to all. Hallee is an amazing person-a person I am proud to be related to. She is also a person who just happens to have Autism. She has never let that small detail define who she is as a person-which is why I refuse to use it as something to describe her. A fun fact is that Hallee's Birthday is fast approaching! And this is where I have a favor to ask of all of you.... Below is a picture of Hallee last year at her 18th birthday party. She had been so excited to have a party with her friends. She wanted to go bowling, have fun, and eat cake and Ice Cream. Invitations went out to her classmates at school and to other friends in the area. Hallee sat at her party anxiously waiting for her friends to arrive so they could have fun....but Hallee's friends would never arrive. Not a single one. Below is the picture of her celebrating alone - eating her birthday cake. My cousin is a beautiful young woman who will always have the mind of a child...so as you can imagine, she was heartbroken and beyond sad. She was hurt... But you can help make this years birthday incredible!! I would love to flood her mailbox with birthday cards, from all over! Hal loves getting mail- this would be the best birthday gift she could ask for. If you could find it in your heart to take a few mins out of your day and send her a card, I would be forever grateful. This would mean a lot to her mother as well, for as you can imagine, watching your child cry into her birthday cake breaks your heart. If there is anyone who deserves a great birthday, this is the girl. Feel free to share this post! Hallee's 19th Birthday is in July"
