HOLIDAY CARDS
HOLIDAY CARD GUIDELINES (PRINTABLE VERSION)
WHAT TO WRITE ON THE CARD
Since we do not know the child's name, please do not address the card to a specific person. If you want to address the card, or writing within the card, here are some suggestions: "Hey There", "Hey you!", "To: a very special person"
We encourage you not to write "Get well", "Feel Better" or other illness related comments. This is very important since some of the patients suffer from medical conditions that are chronic, life-long, progressive and/or terminal.
We recommend that you write uplifting messages such as:
Stay strong
You are awesome
Never forget how amazing YOU are
You rock
I hope you have a great day today
You shine brighter than the sun
You inspire me
Be brave
I believe in YOU
Lastly, you can sign your first name on the card. You can also sign your state or town, such as "Katie from Morgantown", if you wish.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Other than signing your first name, please do not include any personal information, such as: phone number, address, email address etc. WVU Children's will not be allowed to distribute cards with this information.
Write any religious comments such as "God Bless" or "I'm praying for you". Children's treats patients of all religions as well as patients that do not practice religion, which is why they do not allow us to give out cards containing religious comments.
