This makes my day!

I received an invite on Facebook to a little "event" asking that if anyone had a stamp to spare, if they could consider sending a 98 year old woman a birthday card as her 99th birthday was approaching in just a couple days. It appeared that they weren't sure if she'd make her 100th birthday and she was so sad that not many people had acknowledged the big day this year as she walked out to the mailbox on a daily basis only to come back sad and empty-handed. This tugged at my heart strings and I knew I had to pass it along to many friends across the US to see if they could make this woman's birthday a little brighter. Well thanks to Facebook and Twitter, it certainly did! The response received today made my day! With social media + one quick little action, we perhaps made it the best birthday for someone in nearly a century. The way information spreads so quickly for causes likes this makes me grateful for these mediums and happy for those on the receiving end!
