Farewell From Compassionate Cards

Hi Everyone!

After much prayer and consideration I have decided to no longer continue with the Compassionate Cards Missions. There are personal reasons as well as my full time job has been getting busier and my responsibilities and time commitments are greater. I have really enjoyed working with each and everyone of you and have really met some amazing women along the way. I hope that you will continue to support other card missions. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and an heartfelt Christmas. All the best to you and yours. God Bless You!! XOXO, Julie. :0)

October Mission UT MD Anderson Cancer Center

Hi Everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this post! I am very excited to get started with this month's mission. This month will be the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center for a month long card drive to benefit those affected by breast cancer.

It would really help boost their moral to know that a complete stranger thought about them and made them a card just for encouragement and thoughtfulness. I hope that you will join me in this important cause.

Anything that you can do to help and encourage would be much appreciated. Some ideas for the cards would be: Hello, Hi, Thinking of you, Thank you, Thinking of You, Warm Wishes, Let Your Light Shine, Smile, and Happy Birthday. Please try and send an envelope along with your card, if possible.

I'll be sure and update how many cards we have donated.

Please have your cards to me no later than October 31st.

Send them to this address:

Compassionate Cards
PO Box 1145
Gig Harbor, WA 98335

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. Thank you in advance to all that can participate! I know they will appreciate them dearly. :0) Julie.

Please note, they can not have cards with glitter on them as it will possibly have them detected at night. Anything that you can do to help and encourage would be much appreciated. Some ideas for the cards would be: Hello, Hi, Thinking of you, Thank you, Thinking of You, Warm Wishes, Let Your Light Shine, Smile, You’re my hero, Thank you for your Service, and Happy Birthday. This mission is a bit different as you can write in them if you would like to send them a personal message or leave them blank inside so they can send them home to a loved one.
