"Post pals came into our lives a year ago, when our daughter who was 3 was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Caitlin had been through an awful time with her illness, and what Post pals did for us was show us that there were people out there who cared and gave Caitlin something to look forward too. Our daughters face lights up with delight when she recieves something from them, brothers and sisters are also remembered. Post pals has made a huge difference in our lives. A wonderful thing done by a team of wonderful people!"- Julie, Mum to Caitlin, aged 3, Cystic Fibrosis

"When James was first diagnosed, he was really miserable because of his treatment and subsequently due to some abscesses he developed. One thing that really perked him up was the attention of the Post Pals girls. Apart from the fact that he received cards and gifts, the messages that they wrote gave him the strength to keep himself together. Often the cards were handmade and he was delighted with the effort people had gone to just because he was ill. 2 and half years on, James is still getting cards and his twin sister is good friends with a lot of the girls who sent them. Such a simple idea has paid dividends in contributing to James' recovery. It is said that people who are prayed for stand more chance of recovery, but I believe that those who are supported by people such as the Post Pals team have their chances multiplied 10-fold."- Jon, Dad to James R, aged 12, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

"As a parent thought- well, I can only say how very touched I am. I can see that loads of effort goes into this project and many support you. the monthly little art themes are fantastic and in our house, Eleanor (8) makes them up, and we put them in Harry's room. we talk to Harry about them, show him, point to colours, say who sent them etc. WE like to think, Harry looks and perhaps understands a little. Luckily most disabled children are not as severe as Harry, but in OUR life POST PALS makes a huge dufference"- Suzanne, Mum to Harry G, aged 4, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome

"We would like to thank Post Pals for all the support and that the Posty means a lot to Matthew and we will never forget the trip to RAF St Mawgan organised by Post Pals. When your child is ill and your feeling low, its reassuring to know that there are people who are thinking of you"- Jackie and Andrew, parents to Matty W, aged 9, Acute Myloid Leukaemia
