Holiday Card project

What is the holiday Card Project?
*The purpose of the GHoliday Card Project is to create holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simiply bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay,

Exactly who recieves the cards?
*The cards will be distributed to both US and international hospitals. The cards will be deliverd in-person by a representative. The patients who receive the cards age in range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should I write in a card?
*Be as creative as you'd like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include, "Hope you're feeling better", Thinking of you". or "Have a nice day". Try to stay away from "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriiate for all patients. Remember to include a message of "Happy Holidays"

Will the patients know who sent the cards?
*The only way a patient will know who the card is from is if you sign your name. If you would like to send you card anonymously, you may.

Can I send more than one card?
*Absolutley! However, remeber that quality is better than quality. Sending one quality card that you put time and effort into is better than sending two cards that were thrown together.

Is ther a specific size or medium for the card?
*There is no specific size for the cars. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing. colorind or painting. You can use glitter, construsction papper, cardboard. markers, crayons, color pencils, ribbon, etc. to make your card speacial. You can also desidn your card using Photoshop. In Photoshop please use 4x6 or 5x7 for your dimensions.
