Description:

In this swap you will send a cheery, hello, encouraging card to Dorothy. Dorothy has been battling Stage 3 Wilm's tumor (or nephroblastoma) ever since her unexpected and shocking diagnosis in July 2014. She has already completed 4 rounds of Chemo and just recently had major surgery to remove her left kidney and tumor that had grown into her vena cava and heart. She is currently undergoing radiation and has 5 more rounds of chemo to complete. She also will receive daily injections of blood thinners for the next few months because she developed a blood clot in her vena cava in less than 48 hours after surgery. We hope that her body can manage to break it up on its own without having to do another risky surgery. Special interests: Dancing, Playing with other children, swimming, singing, watching her favorite shows

Address: Dorothy PO Box 290 San Luis Obispo, California 93401

In addition to the card for Dorothy, you will send a hello-happy card to one partner for rating purposes. Thank you for participating! If you have any questions please message me! -You must have a 4.90 rating to participate, newbies are welcome, please don't flake on this little girl! *I plan to host more swaps like these for other children who can use some cheer, so make sure to check back. :) * I have also created a group in which these will be the type swaps done. Thanks!!!

It's a shame that you made this a US only swap. I can't join, but I will send a card. Anyone else battling g cancer has a place in my heart.

I am new to swapbot and signed up for this swap thinking regional was only US, but my partner is from Canada? Does anyone know now much postage has to be put on a postcard US to Canada?

Isabellalisa 07/11/2015 #

I just looked it up online so I could get it mailed, $1.20 is what the USPS site said in case anyone else finds this information helpful :)

International, including Canada, is $1.20 for 1 oz.
