  • Answer:

    There is a program where you can send cards to pepole who are in hospital, however they do not reply and you are not given any patient details. Children with cancer have family and friends. They also have tutors trying to help them keep up with schoolwork. Very few would have time to write letters to a stranger, however well intentioned. Parents are extremely protective of their children, particularly when ill, and details are never given out. You could write to various hospitals with your offer in case one of the children is wanting a pen pal, but I doubt you would get a responce.

Children who have cancer have families, friends and staff to look after them. Those pictures you see of sad, bald little children, sitting alone, are for fund raising purposes.

Children with cancer don't have time to be "Pen Pals"...they are too busy suffering...depending on how old you are, you can join chemoangels.com where you can become a "Chemo Angel" or "Card Angel" please note, however that these are one way conversations, and your patient will not write you back....Or you can send cards to sick children at www.SendKidsTheWorld.com...while they can not "Pen Pal" with you, they do enjoy getting cards/stickers in the mail. Here are a few more websites... http://www.postpals.co.uk/find.php http://www.hugsandhope.org/kidslist.htm

What's wrong with you...?

Why are you asking on-line? Are there orders of protection against you in real life?

TrueSnapdragon, I understand where you are coming from and I know that your intentions are good. I have a very close friend that her very young daughter passed unfortunately from cancer. However my 11 year old son learned today in school about cerebrum palsy and came home emotional and inspired. Wanting to make a difference. He wants to give his allowance to help research and I thought perhaps trying to find a pen pal to show the another child that he cares. He wants to become a doctor and help children. He started doing some research and came across your remark. You are extremely discouraging for children. There was nothing positive about what you said. Perhaps you help children in need but there are children out there who purely care and want to make a difference but don't have a degree yet. My son wants to help not because he feels sorry for the children that are sick but because he wants to help. Just like I am sure that doctors and nurses want to help. I told him to take what you said with a grain of salt. Not to be discouraged and give up. I am sure there is a child out there that does need someone to care. BTW if I was a child that has cancer and someone cared enough about me I would be touched....
