November 5th will be the 1 year anniversary of my transplant and I was hoping you all would help me out...
Sometime around the 1st of the month I would like to send anyone who would be interested my sister-in-law's mailing address so that you all could send her a card telling her how absolutely wonderful, selfless and amazing she is for doing what she did for me. I would also like you to tell her how you know me, a little (or a lot, your choice) about your situation whether you are a transplant recipient, a donor, waiting for a transplant, caregiver, etc.
My sis-in-law, like all other living donors I'm sure, is not one to talk about or boast about this wonderful gift she has given. We don't speak on a daily or sometimes weekly basis and I really just want to drive home how thankful I am for all she's done and sacrificed for me and my family. Because like all recipients it will be impossible to ever completely repay her.
Anyone interested in buying a card, a stamp and giving a little bit of your heart to a wonderful soul? :)

YES! :yahoo; I'll send everyone individual messages with her address tomorrow. I know it takes the "out of country" people a little longer to get mail here, so I hope tomorrow is enough time.
Again, our anniversary date is November 5th!!!!
Thanks everyone! I love and appreciate you all! :grouphug;
OHHHHH DO NOT mention the purse, as we have not yet found the time to get together. She's been working 7 days a week apparently. I'll remind everyone of this when I send the address.
Thanks again!
-
Still looking for a funny card. Not sure to look for an anniversary or thank you card. Found one possible thank you card that may make her go wth :rofl;
-
Either one Chris, I know you'll find a funny one. Your sense of humor is right on in my opinion. :)
-
Ok, I started sending PM's with my donor's address, but the system will only allow me to send 10 messages per hour. Should I just post it here and be done?
-
No, don't post it publicly. You never know. Just send in an hour, or if you need help, let me know!
Are you send it with multiple addresses at the top of the message? There should be no limit, I think.
-
Oh, I was sending individually. I'll try it that way in an hour. Thanks okarol. And I got your message, but I couldn't respond to that either. :) Thank you so much!
-
:2thumbsup;
-
:thumbup; I would love to send hr a card. Without people like her, so many of us wouldn't have a chance.
-
Count me in Kelly! I had my kidneyversary last week....
PM me her address.....I would love to thank her for helping me meet you!!!
-
Wenchie, you were on my list whether you wanted to send a card or not. Ha!
I hope your kidney anniversary was fabulous - like you! :beer1;

The card is signed and sealed. I don't know if I should mail it tomorrow, Saturday the 31st or wait until Monday the 2nd to mail it from California. Trying to get it there on the 5th. Anyone have any ideas?
Just googled it. It says 2-3 days. I will mail it on Monday.

That's what I am going to do too.
-
Mailed!
-
:2thumbsup; SENT!
-
Thanks again everyone! I told my husband to "avoid her call" until Wednesday or Thursday. I know she'll figure it out when she starts getting card after card, but I don't want to have to explain or "play dumb" if she calls on one card showing up. I want to wait until she starts getting a whole bunch of cards! She's going to be shocked! :2thumbsup; She didn't call today. Maybe tomorrow!!! :rofl;
-
Mine will be late. I haven't gone out sincThursday and now going to docs, but know which card I'll get.
-
Sent. Hope she sees how special she is!
-
Mine is in the mail! I can't wait to hear what she thinks of all the cards. Great idea, Kelly :2thumbsup; :grouphug;
-
She might get her first card in the mail today! :) I can't wait either. I love you all! Thanks so much for assisting me!!! I'll of course do the same for any of you! :grouphug;
Paris, are you feeling any better?
-
I hope mine gets there tomorrow! :cheer:
-
Did she ever call you about getting cards???
-
Since I am late, I will send her a funny Christmas Card too.
Sorry, my bad :oops;
