While on Twitter the other day, I saw a tweet from Jake Tapper of CNN asking people to send Christmas cards to a sick young child:

In the WLKY report, the family of Jacob Thompson is requesting everyone to send Christmas cards to him to help him celebrate his last Christmas which they plan on celebrating next weekend.  The Christmas card idea is Jacob’s last request.

Jacob is a cancer patient with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma, and doctors give him about a month to live.  Accordingly, the family is planning to throw Christmas for him next weekend.

Even if it is a cheap card from the store, a homemade card, or a note, it would obviously mean a lot to this family if you just send them something.  This Christmas is going to be a hard one for them, so we should all take the time to lessen the blow by giving them a fond memory.
