I hope like heck that it is okay to put this here. I realize some might be offended by the reporting of the story... But Here we go!
This is a story about a little gal, by the name of Hannah Garman.
I'll let her family tell the story:
Many of you may remember my dear friend, Chris Garman, who lost her battle with breast cancer 2 years ago. When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, she was pregnant with her third child. Her doctors didn't think Chris would live through her pregnancy without treatment, so they took a chance & gave her chemo while she was pregnant. Chris survived her pregnancy & had a beautiful, healthy little girl named Hannah Faith.
Chris died when Hannah was three.
Hannah is almost five, and this breaks my heart all over again, but In October, Hannah has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor. She was given about 12 weeks to live. She was going to be the flower girl in a wedding in May, but was diagnosed A week after she was asked.
Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bed And cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting from people, but she LOVES getting cards - she has gotten so many from people she does not know and just loves to have grandma read about the people who send them and see their pictures and is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards.
When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how Many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school groups where children are making her cards. People are including pictures so she can see who it is that is sending her the card.
If you would like to help with her wish, please send her a card at:
Hannah Garman
704 Orchard Rd
Lititz, PA 17543
THANKS! Feel free to pass this along to your own prayer group, church, school, etc. Let's see if we can have the cards coming in big postal bags for her this Christmas, since it will be her last holiday.
Please pray for her family. Her older brother & sister watched their mom go through this just two short years ago, and now they are watching their baby sister.
P.S. You can also send my email to anyone you forward this to, if they have questions. sheripie@hotmail.com

Here's the little Redheaded Angel's Picture:
From her Home Paper:
Lights flashing, they drove north through the darkness Thursday, a caravan of about 70 fire trucks, ambulances and police cars headed toward a small, red-headed girl in a party dress.
Hannah Garman, 4, of Lititz wanted cards for Christmas this year. The little girl, who has brain cancer, opens some of the cards brought to her by a caravan of fire trucks and emergency vehicles Thursday night. With her is her sister, Brittany.
Hannah Garman, 4, quietly watched them pulling into a parking lot. She was lying on a litter just outside an ambulance, her pink shoes poking out of a white sheet.
Hannah, who lives in Lititz with her dad, brother and sister, recently was diagnosed with a fatal form of brain cancer. Her mom, Christine, died from cancer two years ago.
Hannah's wish for Christmas this year was to get lots of cards.
That wish went out in an e-mail late last week. Her family believes it was sent by someone who knows them but they are not sure.
Do you think it would be too much ask, if this Blog could stick this on the front page of this Blog? I mean, there's a bunch of division in politics right now, but can we just put that aside for one day, to make a little angel's life a little brighter?
Thanks,
Ctron.
