I've posted this to some fountain pen facebook groups, but think it's worth posting here too.... Let's get this cute little girl some fountain pen written cards!!!

Now, with the prospect that this will be Addie's last Christmas, her grandparents thought it would be nice for Addie to receive a lifetime of Christmas cards this year.

"She doesn't get to play with kids, so we thought if everyone would send her a card, we could tell all her friends it would make her Christmas a little bit better,” Tami Fausett said.

With the help of her older sisters, Shayley and Audree — who hang up the cards — cards for Addie and her sisters are pouring in from family, friends, and as word spreads on social media, even strangers.

"(We’re) hoping to get a lot so we can cover all the walls with them, for Addie,” Tami Fausett said.

Back at the post office, if this smile on the other side of Box 162 won't warm your heart, Addie's Christmas wish for us all certainly will.

"Merry Christmas!” Addie exclaimed.

If you would like to send Addie and her sisters a card, you can mail it to Box 162, Fountain Green, UT 84632.

“We have gotten thousands of cards, and I feel it is amazing that so many people care to send a card,” said Tami Fausett, Addie's mother.

The cards have come from all over the world as people who’ve heard Addie’s story share some Christmas cheer with the 6-year-old. Her family put out the call for a "lifetime of Christmas cards" after doctors told them Addie had less than a year to live.
