One key distinction with Cardz for Kidz! is that we are TRULY concerned about the kids who can’t
leave their rooms due to medical conditions. These conditions or procedures can
range from being contagious TO being strapped to the bed due to testing. We
make sure each hospital guarantees that the cards will be delivered to the
patients’ rooms so that the ones who are stuck can be uplifted as well. Based
on that promise EVERY CARD COUNTS….well
at least everyone that follows the rule of not writing ‘Get Well Soon’.
Cardz for Kidz! participants range from renowned artists
(literally) to some unartistic Accountants….we
won’t say any names! NO matter
what each card is appreciated.
Here’s a quote from a volunteer who delivers cards:
-------
We’ve come up with a creative
strategy when we hand deliver some of the less than world renowned artistic
pieces. For example, “Here you go. We
have this special card for you. The one thing is that this LARGE company made
it and they have some people who are VERY creative then others….not so much.
But either way they all made cards for you!”
I’ll never forget the time
when I delivered a card to a child after my quote he said “it’s okay! I can
tell he tried really hard. THANKS!”
What was eye opening is that
this children already knew the saying ‘it’s the thought that counts’!
------
Based on the appreciation, we keep track of the total amount
of cards that are made by each group. Recently we've noted a large increase in
the production from universities, but Marketing/Advertising agencies are
towards the top as well! Either way as highlighted on the chart below, Independent
participants have produced nearly twice as many cards as any other participant.
Therefore even if you’re simply making a card or two in your
free time please remember, EVERY CARD COUNTS!
