Hope for Aria #2

HOPE FOR ARIA!

Please join me in giving hope to Aria's family. Some of you may remember the first postcard swap we did for her, her parents were very grateful for the postcards and hopefully sometime soon I'll have a photo of her with her postcards. BUT, unfortunately the first transplant did not work out and she has recently had a second major bowel transplant.

Aria is a 3 1/2 year old who is having major bowel transplant surgery (for a second time). She is in the hospital in Omaha, NE as we speak, and has been there for months now. Her family is from New Zealand and they are here on a medical visa. I have a friend who is a close friend of the family, and have also had contact with Aria's mother several times.

Here is my second project for Aria. This will be done quickly, as they are really struggling right now and Aria is very sick, and I feel they need encouragement sooner rather than later.

I want you to send your partner a business size envie of surprise goodies (profile surprises are GREAT) AND send a goodie envelope to this sweet little girl Aria. I want her hospital room to be plastered with beautiful cards from around the world offering her and her family HOPE!

WHAT TO SEND YOUR PARTNER?

ATC embellishments, ATC blanks or lovely paper scraps (NO TRASH unless your partner's profile says they like TRASH lol), postcards, notecards, finished ATC's, stickers, inchies, used stamps, profile surprises - business sized envie full.

WHAT TO SEND TO ARIA?

Postcards with hopeful quotes, ATC's she'd like, stickers, beautiful or cute notecards with hopeful messages, get well cards, pretty photographs, dolly clothes, little crafts a small child could do, coloring pages - NO FOOD, CANDY or DRINK . NOTHING SCENTED. Her favorite color is PURPLE. She loves stickers. - Business sized envie is fine, but feel free to really spoil her with a bigger envie or package IF YOU WANT.

Here's a good picture of her doll she calls "Green Dolly" in case you want to make Green Dolly an outfit. Green Dolly has been with her all the way and is very special to her.

IN SHORT...

You will send two goodie envelopes. One to your partner.... One to ARIA MACDONALD in her hospital room!

I will send you her parent's address once partners are chosen.

For more about her visit aria.org.nz. There are beautiful and amazing pictures of her taken of her while in the hospital, after both surgeries and lots of info about the family and what they've been going through.

Also check out a youtube of the family, just look up Aria MacDonald.

Please tell your friends about the swap if you like, all promotion is welcome. Let's really send a swell of support for Aria.

Rules cause we have to have them: 4.9 rating, no recent 1's or 3's (contact me if there is an issue you need to discuss) - Newbies welcome with a filled out profile - If you don't have time to send, don't sign up, I don't tolerate flakers especially not for something as important as this! Thank you.

Rate for this swap when you receive your partner's envie, it will be honor system for sending to Aria at the same time.
