In
July of 2012, Simon Says Stamp introduced you to this beautiful and brave young girl,
Maddy Justice. She sadly was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment, followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.
This January, we learned that she had relapsed, which unfortunately means she’s going to have to go through this very physical and emotional pain again.There was an overwhelming response to the
card drive last year! We’re hoping you can help lift her spirits again!!
Pictured above: Maddy’s painting she gave to a friend.
Just to give you an idea at the amazing spirit and determination of this young girl, here is a quote from her post in Caring Bridge back in January:
“For this battle, I am not just going to fight for me. I am going to fight for the fallen. I am going to fight for every child who couldn’t. I am going to fight for every child whos soul left the Earth too quickly. I am going to fight for my friends who have gone too soon. And once again, I am going to fight for my Lola. This time I am ready. I am ready to charge at this thing. I am ready to fight. Let’s do this.”
We ask you to please open your hearts & crafting supplies once again and make a card for Maddy and send them to this address:
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Hi Laurel, I have a fairly new blog and would like to ask if I could advertise this post on my blog and in my FB group. I have a special place in my heart for all the kids at St. Jude and would love to pass on the word and also to make a card to go to Maddy. I look forward to hearing from you
