First off, I want to say I have no affiliation or association with this family in any way. I just found the general request and though our group, during this month, is uniquely suited to make a showing.

Here is what I saw:


Sean Cuellar, reporter at KEZI
Some people you meet and you never forget. I met Brandon this week -- he's fighting the fight of his life.
Brandon is facing his third bout with brain cancer. He has one simple wish -- send him a letter. Please spread the word about Brandon’s fight.

C/o Brandon Smith
4736 Royal Ave. #125
Eugene, Oregon 97402-1755
U.S.A.

Here is the news article:

and their Facebook page:

It doesn't appear that he has the ability to reply. It is up to you, if you want to write. Like I said, I have no affiliation with them but as a group, we know better than most, how good it feels to get a piece of handwritten mail. For any of you out there that may be worried about hitting your 28 letters in the month, or may be worried about trying to keep up with all the replies. Here is a chance to write something short and simple, knowing that it doesn't have to be filled with conversation starting details.

From a kids point of view (what am I saying), from anyone point of view, it is always more fun to get a letter from as far away and as different an environment as possible.

Add a little ink to paper and make someone smile on the other side of the world.

A letter to each of the young men is waiting for the postman to pick it up. I hope it brightens their day a bit.
